Hello all, I'm on the verge of picking up a 1955 9A.
Well tooled up with a Buck 3-jaw chuck, a 4-jaw, follow-rest, factory collet set, rack and drawbar.
I haven't seen it in person yet but have a ton of pics.
I'm a little concerned about bed wear.
Attached are a few pics.
Recognizing the difficulty of armchair assessment via pics I'd love some feedback on the bed wear any other thoughts about this machine.
Some of the tooling
