This is an oddball lathe that seems to be assembled from a collection of parts from other lathes.
+
*The bed and legs are from a No:1642 16" electronic variable speed lathe.
+
**There was a dataplate on the legs to this effect, but ALL the information on it was wrong (swing, working length, speed control type, etc.) for our lathe configuration, so it was removed
+
*The headstock and tailstock are (we think) from a 1442 MECHANICAL variable speed lathe
+
** manual here: [[file:Jet_1442_lathe.pdf]]
+
*The tool rest is fairly large for the headstock height and ~probably~ originated with the 16" lathe parts

It works. Don't change the speed.

It spins. Don't change the speed- the speed-change mechanism is broken and also jammed in place.

Brian is currently cheerleading the repairs to the lathe, if you search (the google group discussion) you will find a status update from him about it. TL;DR/TLTS: it works, don't change the speed.
