I committed to buying a 16X80 RP today and was curious if anyone could confirm this machine was built in 1975. This Lathe looks 40's or 50's, but clear as day it has 1975 stamped into it's headstock ID plate for the build date. Is there anyway to verify the age- Serial numbers or specific features? When did Reed Prentice stop producing machines?
Thanks for any help.
