So not it's off
for sale for this little gem so someone else can enjoy her now.
Should serve a long time with some care. The lathe was
completely disassembled, cleaned & sandblasted before being
reassembled. The original Timken ball bearings were in great
shape so they were stripped of old grease and properly repacked.
I did change the look of the original nameplate, I was not able
to save the painted on writing, so I decided to give the lathe a
splash of color which I think worked very well.
This lathe, like many
of my refurbs, is given a paint job using an etching primer and
two to three coats of automotive engine paint. The paint is a
high build / high solids paint made for cast iron with just the
right gloss. I have been using this for a while and it holds up
very well.
