hi there,
I had occasion to buy a vintage ATW lathe last year that was a steady runner in a home basement shop until the machinist who owned it passed away. It came with lots of tooling and was plug & play. I had to dismantle it a tad to remove it from the shop and I have it stored currently while I get my own new shop space organized so as to get it placed in and functional again.
Below are some photos I took as I was preparing to remove the lathe. I have secured some reference manuals...
