I bought my 10K new in 1981 direct from SBL. I love it. It has limitations,
but it does things my other two lathes does not. Age is an issue. Many are
clapped out, buy a good one and you won't regret it. They are far better
than any Chinese lathe in the same size and they will retain their value.

I am thinking of buying a 10K (heavy) South Bend lathe I know that it is
out of production and that SBL is not making any lathes now that I know of.
Can I still get new parts for the 10K from SBL?
