The lathe my son was given is a Craftsman Model 101.28940, and it really was disassembled down to the tiniest screw and roll pin and then all the pieces thrown in a big box.
The challenges are that a casting that bolts on the back of the quick change gearbox and supports the quadrant is missing and the front bedway within about 18 inches of the headstock is gouged about 0.008" deep. Finding a useable bed is probably the solution to that part.
There are some other challenges but most critical seems to be the bedway damage. Somebody did not keep this machine oiled and ran it very hard.
It even has the old fashioned cast iron legs that look like they are from the industrial revolution days. Very cool!
Ray
