I understand that these machines were between 3200 and 3800 lbs new
complete. Mine right now has the doors (200 lbs ?) and the motor /
drive assembly out so we are guessing about 2500 lbs for what is left.
Pretty wild for a 12 x 26 or so lathe.

Yep, heaviest machine for its size in the world. Dang near twice what the
similar size hardinge HLV weighs in at. When you got it running, you'll
appreciate every ounce of rigidity.
