The lathe is a " peg leg" style with the rubber donut foot trashed. It has cast iron legs with a weld repair to one leg. It has a mint chip pan and quick change gearbox. The leather belt was pretty slack so without a belt lacer I made my first repair. I cut about an inch off of one end and used the lacing clip to mark the holes and I used my tiny Electro-Mechano sensitive drill press to drill the small holes and re- belted it up and had her running even better. I installed a Rockwell 1/2 hp motor while I re-build the stock one that came with it.
So far that's where I am at. Now I will get into this Iphone to figure it out.
Thanks for reading.
