Condition is scruffy, but I think basically good underneath. Some differences in the pulley guard and countershaft system to those shown on .uk for a model C which was throwing me off a bit with the identification, but it may have had bits swapped about over its lifetime. Thanks guys, just had a look with better lighting and there it was - when I was looking yesterday it was in a dark garage, and I didn't have my glasses on.Ĭ7912 which puts it at late '50s as far as I can tell. Hi Rob, look at the front sheer at the tailstock end, you can just see it in the photo of the tailstock in Boxford forth photo down. Dedicated Digital Readout Kits to fit onto Boxford Lathes, full install guides and easy to fit. There is a copper plate on the geartrain cover with a box labelled Serial Number, but it is blank. It was much later that I noticed the number stamped on the bed itself, generally hidden by the tailstock parked there. On my ME10, basically similar to your lathe, it is stamped on the bed near the right-hand end, very visible in fact.Ī feature of the CSB, compared to mainstream models, is that the belt drive from motor to countershaft is single speed rather than double, so losing the upper speed range. When I was told to look for a serial number on the tailstock end of the bed I thought that was it, but it did not include a number. I'll try and post a picture later to see if anyone has a better idea of the model. Apologies for the silly question, but where would I find the serial number on my newly acquired Boxford lathe? I am fairly sure it's a model C - could be a CSB from what I can find on .uk.
