[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

This picture has been around for awhile. The chatter before was always is it a salesman sample that was cast much thinner for weight, -or was it a demo that the salesman could unload immediately on the spot?

In Ronn's thought on the weight, if the unit was indeed a lighter weight frame, look at all the weight on the driver's side of the vehicle with those extra chucks, live centers, steady rests, and all the MT tooling.

The question I always wondered is you can see the barrel switch on top of the lathe, but how was the unit powered to give a demo? Plug-in extension cords as we know them today were not all that prevalent in that era, were they? Especially ones capable of powering a ½ horse or larger electric motor??
