I purchased this lathe in working condition from the back room of a barber shop in Claremont, CA.  Bob the ‘barber’ was doing a side business of making custom pool cues.  This SBL-9C was in a crowded area with some imported lathes, but the 9C had not been converted to make pool cues, yet.  The lathe shows very little wear, but it needed a thorough and deep cleaning, which I did after getting it home.  I also replaced the scary original electrical lines.  I had to purchase many accessories since the lathe came to me with a 6-jaw chuck, and nothing else.  The lathe is now used for small projects, primarily for resurrecting vintage equipment.
