I couldn't help myself:
1941 Craftsman / Atlas Lathe 101.06242 by DurocShark, on Flickr
(There's more pics of it there if you click the link.)
$75. Bearings (Oilite bronze bushings) are perfect. It's grungy but no rust. Even has an index head.
I picked it up with the intention of cleaning it up and (hopefully) selling it. Since I'm not working, my time is cheap.
But, I kinda like it. Sigh.
No, I'll be good. It only has a 9" swing, and MT1 head and tailstock. My Rikon is far superior. But this circa 1939-41 lathe is so cool!
