Old but looks complete and currently very cheap at $90 at the time I posted this

It has a gap in the bed. Never seen that on a Hercus 9" before. Custom or factory special??

I spied what looked like a shaper to the side of some of photos of the Hercus, and sure enough, he is also selling an Ammco 6" shaper: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-...cAAOSw4ttgFijd

What a thing to do to a lathe. I'm all for mods to enhance and improve, but not butchery.

I’ve heard stories of Hercus supplying gapped beds on the odd occasion but I’ve never seen one, and have no idea whether there is any substance to that or not.
My guess in this particular case is that whatever was chucked in the larger three jaw on the rack needed more clearance. Automotive fly wheels maybe?

I can't see the gear cover. Very dangerous to run the lathe without that.
