I Picked up a first generation one of those in 1997 and have been using it ever since. That design is incredibly versatile and comfortable to use. Its a variation on a very successful theme, the Oliver 159, that was so popular in school shops before and after WWII. The modern Jet 1640 and 1840 are downgrade budget versions of that lathe design. While they are pretty good lathes for what they are, they are not the same as the Powermatic 3520B,

Excellent lathe and excellent value. If interested you might check if Klingspor will match that price and purchase locally.

Oh yes, the old Oliver lathe in the high school wood shop. Great thing about that lathe was you could feed a long piece of stock, ie: 1 1/2" through the head and into the jaws. Great lathe for turning Shaker chair back posts. Wish I had one, I'd make a few Shaker rockers.
