Hello Everyone.
Last weekend we brought home a hendey 14 x 8 tiebar lathe S/N 24178. Pics are in a shared album at:

Hopefully this link works. As you can see, the machine is complete. My brother is a professional machinest and he tells me it is in very good condition. I spent a little time cleaning the machined surfaces and oiling everything that moves. The carriage, compound and tailstock all move nicely. The spindle is very very tight. I'll study the archives a bit to see how to free it up but if someone has a handy link to an article i would certainly appreciate it.
I'll send hendeyman a PM to see if he would be kind enough to give me whatever history is available. My plan for this machine is a complete tear down, cleaning, repaint etc. I'm purely a hobbiest (mostly wood work so far) and intend to use the machine. It'll be a couple of months before i can begin the tear down because i owe the supreme commander some kitchen cabinet doors and drawer fronts.
I'll thank you all in advance for the opportunities to pick your collective brains.
