Jen son lathes
I have a Jen son lathe and by the look of it made at some point in the 1930's and the electrics were made by G E Vaughan Electrical Engineers of Granville Sydney . Its tempting to believe they may have been the manufacturers as you can see its serial number is 83. It also has some very suspicious green paint that suggests it may have served in WW2. No feed bar ,but has a internal lead screw that runs under the bed and surprisingly roller bearings to the head, so old but innovative. The stand is not original, its off an old coldsaw but serves it well.
Does anybody else own one or have any further info to add, it would much appreciated.
