They were some of the most if not the most accurate lathes on the market when new. They still rank at or at least near the top. The primary issue seems to have been the failure of the tube type variable speed drive control unit. That can be overcome with the installation of a DC motor & a variable speed motor control. In good or better condition they are still quite accurate. Primary limitation is size of the late.
