I bought one then had to buy two more.
Let me elaborate. Due to frequenting this forum not only do I search free add sites for Lathes daily, but I have also developed a perchant for Record Vices.
I got the first one and it was missing a few original parts. With the second one I then had a swivel base for one of them but the castings were not the earliest type either. So I wanted one which had the patent numbers etc on the side which I believe puts it between 1920 - 1940 period.
That 3rd oldest one also is in really nice condition and has the second screw to hold the pipe jaw accessory. Due to this, it still also has its original pipe jaw.
So I plan to move the swivel base to this oldest one and ensure 100% of it including the bolts are all original. The oldest one will be installed in my front garage.
For the other 2x they will have new bolts etc and all 3x will be restored in the coming weeks on this thread.
