First start up after full restore 9" South bend Lathe

Just thought I would share my first start up after completely stripping my1947 9" South Bend Lathe. I would have video'd the journey however it seems restoring south bends has been flogged to death on youtube. I will however show some tips for not using the lathe but also some things to look for on these old lathes to help ensure you pick up a bargain as opposed to a lemon.

Thank you, yes it was. Sadly I moved it on after all that hard work
