A customer contacted me yesterday about this lathe. It was completed on December 24, 1953. Since this is a motor generator set, possibly
Reliance Electric with a gas filled rectifier tube, that has not been tested, $3000 seems a bit much. As I told my customer, considering the external appearance and the unknown condition of the electrical equipment, this machine should be viewed as a parts machine until more information is available. Caveat Emptor!
