Picked up a lathe cheap enough to be interesting a couple of weeks back. Almost nothing that I can find on the internet about it. I learned that it is supposed to be a Taiwanese copy of a South Bend Model 9. It has a short bed on it. It appears to have lots of gear reduction selection. They were imported by a company on the west coast from 77 through 79. Also available labeled as a "David" brand.
It is 110 volts but I believe it came with a 220 motor. I found one pic that showed the back of one of these and the motor was the same color as the rest of the lathe. My motor is black. It does have forward and reverse function.
Hoping that someone might have some experience with one. Thoughts about it?
Thanks,
Doug
