Logan 200 in great shape. I have the original legs and pan too - but I think I will built a special heavy bench for it; if you done it or if you have a lathe please share a picture of your setup.

Those are nice little lathes. Had one just like it in the fab shop I worked in, & I spent many an hour in front of it. Only problem we ever had was the auto travel jaws (they grab the screw on the front) wore out & needed replacing. They were brass or bronze (soft). The trick is to use as little force as possible holding the lever over until the jaws grab the threaded rod.

Looks nice & a lot like an old South Bend my dad owned for years.
