If you have any information that would be great. These are 10" swing. I
cleaned one up, gave it a bath in oil and it moves nice. I will have to
power up in the next few days, its in my garage and we have a warm spell for
the week. It loks as if it uses ball bearing in many place the SB uses plain
bearings. The quick change box, HS and maybe the compound/apron. The apron
looks to be double wall and well built. The screws have almost no backlash.
The bed looks good the scraping marks are a bit worn but it still looks like
its had light use. There is no ridge but I don't know if these lathes show a
ridge with wear.

I have a Sheldon lathe and a fair number of documents.
Let me know if you need information.

I bought 2 sheldon lathes today, both are EL 46 P models, these have the
smaller spindle 1-3/4" but come with chucks and face plates. Not sure
what collet these will take. Solid little machines, they seem to be
better built than the Heavy 10 I sold a few months ago. I will take some
pictures in the coming weeks.
