a few photos,thanks for the fast respone.overall condition is really nice.still has scraping on the entire bed,cross-slide and compound.all gears are like new.i dont think it is repainted due to the fact that mechanically it is like new.there is a coat of glyptol and a coat of grey .what do you think.
dauber and some paint
thanks again for the response.the serial # leads me to believe 1931 not that it matters.I was *almost* right...but almost rarely counts.
Not simplex drive, you have a bench mount under drive 9" 0 series standard change gear lathe...and a very fine looking one at that!

i just got back to this lathe and saw this response.i have a matching set of 2 piece adjustable cast iron plates,like new.they are going away soon if interested.weigh about a ton per set.
as found,torn down,washed and oiled.ready to mount on original early bench i found last week.this is available.by far the cleanest original south bend i have seen and i have been a mechanic for 45 years.did south bend use this color originally. jim
i did not think it was.apparently someone repainted it ,did a really nice job.it looks neat and professional.many hours involved in such a detailed paint job.i was contemplating a repaint but decided to match the base to the existing lathe color.at this point its more about the condition of the mechanical s than the color.
