yes it is - just as you say, except that I removed the original drum switch
and put a digital RPM display in its place - part of it is visible in the
"hobby/tools" section of my web page, www.wbnoble.com.

Nice enough lathe for my purposes but I can see a lack of rigidity under
really heavy cuts. I wouldn't mind having a clausing with an L00 spindle
instead....

For what it's worth, I paid $1200 for my Logan/Powermatic (12X48) with a
couple of chucks and not much else, I added a VFD to drive it and it is
serving me well - that lathe came from near Ventura

Man, I'd like to find one like that to go with my Powermatic mill.
Is it bright green? White Racing stripe?
