So I’m new to forums and new to lathes. But I bought a lathe for $200 and I don’t have any info other then serial number on it. The number is 8758HKX12. I’ll attach a few photos of what I have. Also doesn’t anyone know what the last photo is?. Hopefully I haven’t missed a thread about this already!

The lathe is currently set up on 220v (possibly converted?)
Came wil a ton of tool holders and lantern style post. The tail stick is off in the picture but it’s nice. Came with dead ends for the tail stock and a tom for original wrenches a d high speed steel chunks! No taper attachments and the tags are all unreadable, I’ll be looking for a way to clean them up without damage too if an tone e as advice.

Thank you all!

You can go to grizzly.com and have them look up the serial card for $25.

Everyone has their own way, but I've had good results with spraying the tags with wd-40 and hitting them very, very lightly with a fine steel wool.
