Drove for 14 hours each way to pick up this beauty this weekend... Upgraded from a K8 to a 8C... apparently a prototype and only two known to exist.

Re: Upgraded To A Presto 8C
You should be real happy with this choice. I had an 8C and it was my second most favorite of many presto lathes I have had. I made modifications of mine for 45 plus the 78 and 33 speeds, vacuum table hold down, swarf (thread) removal, and hot stylus.
PM me if you need any help.

Re: Upgraded To A Presto 8C
Nice.. yeah I have a 45rpm adapter and having a new screw made for micro groove since we could not figure out the complicated pulley system. I have a vacuum plate but no clue how to connect it etc. I will probably PM you. thanks!
