new hendey lathe
Hi everyone. This is my first post although I've been reading as much as I can the past few days. I came across an old Hendey lathe for the low price of $100. I figured I can't go wrong if it has too many issues to resolve as it's worth more in scrap/resell than what I paid. I have yet to pick it up and didn't know where the serial numbers were when I first saw so I don't have those but I do have a couple pics. Just looking for any help as to what size/type of Hendey I acquired. I believe it to be a conehead with a 12 or 14" Chuck built around 1920 from info I've gathered on this amazing site. I won't be able to get serial numbers until this monday for exactness but some insight into my new toy is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
