I've just purchased an old Soutbend Lathe, and trying to figure out what it is, and how much it weighs to get it moved into my shop.
The serial # is G27675.

Best I can tell it's a 16(?) x 72 gap bed. It seems like it's about 1922, it has the power cross feed apron, came with a full set of change gears, steady rest, 4 jaw chuck, and a box of other plates and HSS and stuff. Everything seems reasonably tight, and I'm told it was running when the previous owner passed away. Seems like a fun restoration project, and hopefully will get myself a good working lathe out of it. Anyone with any more information would be appreciated, I have an email in to SB to see if they have a serial card available for it, but I'm not hopeful as it's almost guaranteed to be pre-1929.
Cheers.
