Well my Lathe arrived and I had a chance to look it over. Seems to be in nice shape , but of course it needs cleaning and lubing.

I think I will get one of the "rebuild" kit on Epay as it comes with all the things I may need. Is this the best bet??

It is a NAR (9A) Sn 31234 which works out to around 1950-1955.

It came with a three jaw chuck so I need to find a Four Jaw. Does anyone have one they could part with??

Also looking for two Centers, one for the Headstock and a Live one for the Tail stock.

If you have any I could use please let me know.

Thanks for all the help so far, I am certain I will have more Questions........................

Chucks {all sizes} are available so are centers {all sizes}..after the experts see your lathe
you will receive all kinds of information about it, I am sure...

Ok here are the Pics from yesterday on my "new" lathe





You can see it is still in the back of the pickup so pics are not as nice as I would like!

At least one more load of "stuff" for it on due out so hopefully will get the rest this week.

Now to get a Bench made and get it mounted. I have to open up the motor and see what voltage it is setup for.

Well good for you Chuck! She looks to be in decent shape; thanks for the pics!
Don't get in a hurry; just do it right the first time. Don't run it until
thoroughly oiled, and take detailed pics whenever you can.
