New member here!

I am restoring a Dore Westbury right now.

I’ve restored some Fobco drills and some Myford lathes.

Really nice to be here to share info.

My best regards to all of you.

Welcome. Restore in what way ? Complete rebuild or just a quick service and paint job ? Always interested in a proper ground up rebuild. Good luck. Pictures always appreciated. ATB
