Daughty,
Those "A" brand machines have a huge following. Several years ago I did some repair work on rockwell lathe which went way over the guys budget. So I took a long bed "A" lathe with a pile of "A" type attachments. Had a taper attachment, face plates, chucks, change gears and even an under cutter for motor work. So I searched out and joined an "A" group forum. Posted a few pics of the lathe and folks responded with identifying info. They offered free classifieds for members so wiped and buffed a few goodies and posted. The stuff got bought up in a heart beat. When the smoke cleared I ended up with a considerable profit beyond the cost of the repair, and I kept the mica cutter. Which has repaired at least 9 armatures using my Dalton lathe. All that being said, join an "A" group somebody will buy that machine at that price.
