Thought this may be of slight interest...
I took a risk on this, having only seen it in a dark corner of an old garage with no power available. It's "odd" because it's in the UK. It has the relieving gearbox and cross slide, a box load of gears, backplates etc. I know conventional wisdom appears to be that all these old ATWs are slow, plain bearing units but this isn't (1200 is the max RPM) ->
For a sense of scale it's around 9ft long, the chuck on it in the pic is 10".
The apron mounted clutch lever is off at the moment as the bush is badly worn. The only other obvious wear is in the bush that supports the feed gearbox input shaft. Everything works - all feeds, speeds and threading. It's about to do some "proper" work once I've levelled it...
