Nope, not a plain bearing lathe. Dagnabit, I want to find more of them to find out if they had a P after the serial number like mine, which is 1031P, the 30th lathe off the Logan production line. In the last picture of the back side of the headstock you can see the bearing retainer ring behind the chuck. Logan serial number/year guide. http://www.lathe.com/ser-no.htm Coincidentally, I just bought one like that yesterday, a 04TLC-700A made in 1942. Same legs, same bench type countershaft with the cast iron support bracket under the chip tray instead of the "peg leg" support. If you get that and put ELS on it, I'm interested in the change gears for my plain bearing Monkey Ward. The "new" one has the gear set, and power feeds, which the plan bearing one doesn't. The power feed on these is very simple and does *not* have a clutch so there's nothing to slip if you crash the chuck. If you plan on stripping and repainting it, I've re-created the artwork for the POWR-KRAFT logo you can see the remains of on the front of the headstock. Here's some pics of mine. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27748767@N08/sets/72157635938510255/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
