I am parting out an Oliver 51-B lathe because the headstock is beyond repair. This is a 12" lathe which has the same bed and banjo and tailstock as the other Olivers like the 159. This lathe has a bed 7' long and the legs have levelling feet. The banjo has had the locking lever repaired and the tool rest has some small chips on the top edge. The tailstock locking handle has been repaired and the spindle locking handle has been replaced. There are 3 faceplates, a 12" outboard, a 6" inboard, a 2 1/4" rosette chuck and a 6" 4-jaw metal lathe chuck which has a backplate for an Oliver 12" lathe mounted. I should mention that I had a Powermatic 3520A lathe and found the tailstock fit on this Oliver lathe bed. Following are the parts and the asking prices:
Banjo and tool rest $80
Tailstock $90
I am located south of Durham and west of Cary, close to I-40 and US 64
