Pics of "amazing lathe gloat" and questions

Looks like you have a very fine old project. Take a few days, brush
the bed and legs down to bare then prime and paint, and you won't be
able to stop until the whole machine is cleaned, adjusted and tuned.
The compound is well in style with the machine, is it possible that
there's another bottom half in one of the boxes/buckets? (Although
I'll have to agree, it looks too large for the machine, but that's
from looking at machines built to todays standards.)
I've heard of machines with the feed change lever, it equates to the
sliding gear used on some SB models with a quick change. IF you can
find a threading chart for it, you will probably find three
feeds/number of threads for each combination of change gears.
That countershaft mount is a beauty, no excuses for pulleys out of
alignment.
All in all, ya done good, John.
