This is a decent Clausing model 5914 serial # 503556 with a lot of accessories. 12" X 36" by the catalog. 3 phase. The ways look pretty good. It needs a bath and I'm sure some adjusting and tinkering.
I have a variety of literature/manuals/catalogs and high quality scans of that same literature to go with it. When idling it makes some noise which I assume is from the variable speed as these models are prone to do. I have been using it intermittently a few minutes every few weeks or months for about 8 years now and before that my mentor used it pretty regular prior to his passing. Be glad to show it to anyone interested, it will be sold as is. I have a forklift and can load it in a pickup or on a trailer just outside of Lexington, Virginia.
Here is an overall picture with all that is included sitting on the lathe (lower cover in picture but not in place):
Almost 3 dozen pictures of it and all the included accessories/features in this album (also few unrelated items in album):

List of goodies with it, in about same order as pictures in the album:
Asking $3,250 complete as listed above, I don't want to part it out or sell pieces separately. I could be interested in cash and trade or a decent straight trade; machine shop items, 48-53 GM trucks, Detroit Diesel 53 series engines, 20 qt (or larger) ice cream maker....... I'll listen to all offers.
Thanks,
Grigg
