Dear South Bend Lathe folks,
My dad, Doug Scott, loved reading the emails in this group even though he didn't post much after getting his 1947 SB 9" Model A up and running in 2013! He passed away this year, and we're at a loss about how to rehome his beloved, restored SB lathe. We don't have the capacity to pack and ship it - it's 500 lbs -- so it would have to go to someone who would be willing to come and pick it up in Portland, OR. We'd accept any reasonable offer.
Any locals or anyone who might have advice about how to reach out to fellow SB lathe enthusiasts in the Pacific Northwest? What would you recommend doing?
Here's what I know about it from his description: South Bend 9” Model A lathe, Serial number 169927JAN (manufactured 1947). Fully restored in 2013 – new felts, bearings throughout lathe, new drive screws and nuts in compound and cross slide, new drive gear in cross slide. Newer motor and Dayton switch (wired for forward and reverse), 110v, 1HP. Comes with newer Shars 3 jaw 6” chuck, older South Bend 4 jaw chuck, ER32 collet chuck and collets, 3C drawbar and 3 3C collets, drive plate and lathe dogs, wedge type quick change tool post and 6 tool holders, Jacobs chuck and die holders, one live and two dead centers, steady rest, rebuild manual, full set South Bend oils. Small nicks in ways near headstock.
I'm posting from my dad's email, which I'll keep checking for replies, but I'm also reachable at [email protected].
Thank you in advance for your help and guidance!
Claire Scott
