Need Help / Found Old Lathe

[TONYKEAS]

I Am In The Process Of Cleaning Out My Grandpa House & In The Basement He Has A Very Old Lathe, I Cant Seem To Find Any Information On It, So I Am Hoping Someone On Here Can Help Me.
The Tag On It Says The Following:
Super Shop
Model# X239
Made By: Powertools, Inc. Beloit, Wi
Thats It.... It Has Its Own Stand & Tools, & I Dont Think He's Used It In Some Time... I Dont Want To Just Leave It In The House When I Sell It, So Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated......

I noticed that you didn't know how to post a picture, there is a thread on the main forum that will instruct you or, email one to me steve@turningwood.com and I will post it for you.

I may be wrong because I haven't looked at my catalogs in a while but I think the Super Shop was a product sold by Smithy, the people who make the metal working lathe,mill,drill combo. The super shop was a sort of upgraded version of the Shopsmith, a multitool that works as a lathe, drillpress, table saw etc. When I get home tonight I'll see if I still have that info and verify my guess.

:cool2: Tony,
Go to google and type in the name of your lathe and Mil. Wis. I think you will find what you are looking for there. Be sure to use the google search engine. Hope this helps,
