Antique Metal Lathe $100 Strathmore, AB

Would be a project, but the price is right. Looks like a tailstock handle in behind the lathe. Prob worth it for the legs/drip tray alone

It’s a Moody lathe made in Quebec. It’s largely based on the 9” Southbend but has a much beefier headstock with roller bearings. Swing is 11”. Although dirty and grimy it hasn’t seen much use.

All I wanted was the legs and thread dial. However since all it’s missing is the xslide gib, change gears and a few fasteners i think it’s going to become a restoration project. I wasn’t planning on that!
