Craftsman 109 lathes

[notow1]

Okay, I won the auction on ebay for 2 109 lathes. One is complete with motor, the other is supposed to be in good shape but without a motor. Does anyone have some advice as to what I should look for that could make this a bad deal when I pick them up? The total price for both is $290.00 so I think I should be alright. I am hoping that this size lathe is good for stem making. Thanks for any advice, Norm.

You need to be talking to Scottie as she just got thru rebuilding one.

Give me a call Norm (number is on my website), I just restored one and have a guy who makes a few of the parts. I saw that lot on Ebay and was tempted to get them myself.
