Michael,
the restoration was was from the primer up. There is really not all that much to restore. Put new bearings in the headstock and the motor. Clean up the Reeves drive, replace the drive...
I also have an Oliver 1259 that I restored. I am running a Teco MA7200 VFD purchased from Factorymation. I am also using the same VFD on my Oliver 167. I have had no issues with either.

Woodworkers Tool Works. I have purchased for three band saws from them and there is no better service of more knowledgable people.
Although I joined the site 3 years ago, I have only been reading and absorbing the wisdom of the forum. My turning has been entirely self-taught until this past Friday. On Friday, I had the most...
I have used my miter trimmer for 30 years. I like it better than a miter saw. Just finished restoring a Lyon Miter Trimmer for the BIL's Christmas present ( we exchange "used" tool Christmas...
