I just inherited/ saved what I think is a mid 50s South Bend heavy 10 that was left in a container abandoned on my property. The things in actually very good condition but has been in this container for 4 years with a leaky roof. No direct water just a moist environment. The ways and all other Machine surfaces that were exposed have some oxidation. I think I can clean this up as there's no deep pitting. The oil cups were all full or showed recent lubrication. This thing runs like a top and is silent. Somebody destroyed the ID tags and serial number Etc. I'm sure it belong to the government at some point as it shows very little wear. Seems to have very tight tolerances and the only problem I can tell so far is the screw feed and engagement needs some work. I'm tickled to have it and will get it back into Top Notch order. Here's a pic as I received It. It looks worse than it is from what I can tell. Three jaw and four jaw Chuck's and quite a few accessories. Runs on 110.
