I picked this 13" bed Southbend from Andrew at October and ended up not even taking it off the pallet.
Besides wiping it down regularly with wd40 not much has happened since.
It has a fancy 6 jaw chuck, 4 position tool post and various bit of tooling that look like they must have been picked up from an MSC hot sheet.
I need to make room around here for customer fitting and finish work and I need to stop feeling guilty every time I look at this beast for not using it.
more info:
serial# 9356TKX14
Quick Change Gear (QCG), Friction Feed Apron,
Underneath Motor Drive (UMD)
Special spindle small bore
5’ bed length
maybe 1948 or 1949
It'd be totally awesome to get $900 for it with the fancy-pants chuck and all but mostly I want to make sure it goes to someone who can really use it. If you have an oversized XCR road tubeset laying around I might be interested in a partial trade as well...
Thanks!
