I am looking to buy one, in very good to mint condition.
Recently bought a Powermatic mill, and it needs a mate.

All Wards POWR-KRAFT lathes were a dark gray - originally . I don't
know when Wards quit selling them , but mine (model 94TLC 2136)
dates from early 1952 . The best thing you can do at this point is
sign up on the Logan Lathe email list on yahoo groups . Scott Logan
is the moderator , and Logan Actuator supports these old machines
very well . There is also a database of all the machines Logan (and
later powermatic , IIRC) made and when they were produced . Keep an
eye on eBay , there's almost always a Logan lathe or two available .


Yessir, been on that list since I bought my 9: Logan years ago.
I just now sold it. snif


I feel your pain man . I've had mine for several years now . Use it mostly
for motorcycle parts and it's been a joy to use . Be kinda like your best
hound dyin' to sell it now .
