I just bought a South Bend 10k Lathe on Craigslist. I have’t even picked it up yet, I’m still waiting for the ground to dry out before I try moving it.
Here are some images of the lathe from the Craigslist ad.
The text of the ad read:
This lathe was probably made in the 1960s. It was removed from a school shop. It has never been heavily used and has always been well-lubricated while in our care. Additional images will be added to the listing shortly. We will be able to help you load this into your truck. The lathe is already attached to a pallet so it will be easy to transport.

The tailstock was painted for cosmetic reasons.
This lathe has been infrequently used and has always been kept well-oiled.
In preparation for moving the lathe into my basement, I did some cleaning/rearrangement.
The lathe is going to go right in the center of the room. My work space isn’t very big, it measures a little over 13’x9′.
