South bend lathe

My dad passed down my grandpa's lathe to me today. Thought I'd share a pic for you... It looks like there are some old machinery fans on here.

Its pretty clean and works well. I've had the pleasure of using it a time or two in the past. It looks to be from 1929 from what I could find on the internet tonight. Its super heavy and totally overbuilt like many things from a previous era. I wish I had a project to try it out on!

Does anyone know if tooling is still available for this machine? It only has a basic assortment of tools with it.
