I am in the process of restoring this Yates American W12 lathe, however I have not been able to find any documentation or pics anywhere. There is nothing over on OWWM/Vintage Machinery, and nothing on the web that I can find.
This came out of a high school in Tulsa, is a 12", has a 3-phase motor on it.
If all goes as planned this will be my main lathe for the future.

My restore process is here on OWWM.

Would appreciate any folks that have one or know of one to let me know. There are a couple things missing on mine and I would like to recreate them.
Thanks in advance!
