Default 1988 Husky, PC-36 lathe

A company where a friends son works, just got a 1988 Husky, PC-36 lathe.
Has a quick-change. Made in Taiwan.

Has anyone heard of the Husky, and might have some literature on it.
Thanks
Dave Foreman

No literature..but one of my customers has a 10-12 inch Husky. Not a
bad machine. Rather reminds me of early Jet products. A bit clunky and
square cornered..but solid enough. Not great heat treating though..but
not bad.


Any connection?

Thanks for the reply Gunner.
We have seen that CNC Husky and don't think it is related though.
