    Atlas/Craftsman metal lathe thoughts

    Those with one of these '40s model lathes, do they do their job well? If so, what would you consider a value on one that is a basket case?

    What was the original use of this old Craftsman badged motor?

    I'm trying to buy a dual shaft motor to run a double pulley on a couple tools. I am planning on picking this 3/4hp 3450rpm up tomorrow but I've heard that depending on the bearing type they may live a short life. Any Craftsman guys recognize this jewel? Or do you need a model number?
