My uncle gave me an old LeBlond Royal 15" x 54" lathe. It was once used by a school system. It has only a few tools and no manuals. There are also broken parts, the biggest breakage being the tail stock. It is beyond repair apparently from a fall. It has been sitting outside for a "couple of months'. So, I want to decide if it is worth restoring, or should I just part it out. I am not familiar with these lathes so, I have been reading a lot of the threads to learn more.
I really do not need the lathe since I just finished restoring a Clausing that my uncle gave me a long time ago. So, right now I am leaning toward parting it out.
I just got it home yesterday. I took some pictures to document the process of either restoring it or, parting it.
