To pursue my hobby in machining I recently bought a VDF lathe as a bargain of the century. The lathe was in extremely good condition, it only needs a repaint and new oil/grease. During the process of degreasing the machine for new paint I came across a marking on the bed 'MADE IN GERMANY E2K 615 R S 1937". I don't know much about this area but 1937 indicates to me when it was made. I know that 1937 was during the depression in Germany so i am confused why the machine is in Australia, why the machine has a perfect fit Australian made motor and a Australian made electrical system perfectly fitted for the machine.
From what I have seen on the internet information on this machine is hard to come by. So if I could have any history on the machine it would be much appreciated.
