It's a Wizard, but just says "Wizard-Lathe" on the front, the part number on back is 171-10000. It's got a membrane key pad on the front instead of the older push button type pad. Going through the manual listings on the Acu-rite website, it looks like they were revising the design every couple months back then.
Check your PM's

Yep, all the later model Turnados were Taiwanese too. That was one reason I bought it, it has a lot in common with current production machines from the same mfg. If I remember right, most everything SB had to offer from the mid 70's on was made elsewhere for the most part, at a minimum the castings and in this case the whole machine.
The one SB I would like to find more info on is the 1307 toolroom machine. Always wondered if it was domestic in origin or import?

2-1/8" bore will be handy D1-6 would be my guess,my 18x60 has same switching setup.When running in forward or reverse and Brake is applied you have to switch back to neutral before Motor will restart,maybe switch on foot brake is problem there may also be a switch on door were belt drive is.
The bigger bore will be nice for sure.This lathe also does 27 and 11-1/2 tpi as standard on the thread chart, which oddly enough isn't included in the standard pitches most of the lathes I have ran have.

Thanks, I put power to it today, took me about 10 minutes of head scratching before I figured out how to switch it on. I was looking for a clutch handle, there isn't one, no push buttons either, then I noticed the pictograph next to the triangular box under the thread dial. Fwd-Neutral-Reverse switch right there. It's got an open in the safety interlock loop somewhere, because that switch is dead. I did manually close the relays on the main motor and so did get to hear it run, very quiet below 600 rpm and only some faint gear noise all the way up to 1800.

That was one of the better machines SB produced AFAIK, in the last 10 years or so before they shut down.... notice all the similarities to the Taiwanese lathes -- because that's where they were made, even back in the 1980's
