Mine is 116851, if my memory and research are correct this
corresponds to Oct 1941. Based on chart your serial falls in
1940.

PS considering selling 116851 to the right home, so curious as
to what you were willing to give for a 1940 era 9 inch
Southbend.

Have steady rest but keeping that with lathe, not sure about the
micro adjustable. Would not be willing to part with mine except
I have a larger (11 inch) lathe. Yours looks nice after
restoration.

Right, looks like it was built somewhere at the end of 1940. The
lathe doesn't look bad for 84+ years old!

Thanks Len.
Like anything mechanical, I don't consider a thorough cleaning &
a good paint job a "restoration". unless all the parts that are
worn have been re:machined...it just a clean & paint job.

Thinking about it being 84 yrs old is....Wow. its had a very
well cared for life.the wiring was still original & "Scary bad"
it's a wonder it didn't short itself out. The original switch
has contact lugs so thick I doubt you could ever wear them out.

have an exciting day coming up for me, going to p/u my new lathe
from the Fastenal DC in Indy today, they have a little-known
freight service called "Blue line" & while not exactly quick,
they are much less expensive than traditional freight delivery
companies (one of which I work for) & they will normally deliver
to a Fastenal store in your town, my freight was oversized for
local delivery, thus I must go fetch it from Indy. I will follow
up with a progress report.
