I am a new owner of a 9" model B in good shape. Serial places it in the late 1940's. Right now, it is equipped with a 1/4 hp old washing machine motor. The original dual caster is also gone. It works ok but only goes forward. A review of an old SB catalog of that era noted that the 9" lathes were equipped with either a 1/4 or 1/2 horse motor. I imagine it was an option.
1. For those who have a similarly equipped SB with an original motor, what HP and rpm do you have?
2. For those with replacement motors, what do you recommend?
Thank you, Jeff
