Heard about the Yahoo group (wish PM had a section for this...), requested "in" a week ago and haven't heard back as yet...
This is a Mobile Shop lathe made specifically for the US Army, WWII era, Model S-11-36,complete with Army Ordnance logo engraved in the bedway after the SN.
I did source an original War Dept. parts manual (no operations manual) but the headstock on mine is different; ball-bearing type with gits oilers in front similar to my SB; my parts manual shows top oilers. No reason to think it isn't original, suspect headstock design was changed and I have an older manual.
Cannot locate any useful information, operations manuals for these anywhere- just parts manuals on Fleabay.
Did Sheldon even print operations manuals,and if so, is there a source for reprints?
