Some paint loss to the drip tray which is not unusual. The paintwork on these Boxford lathes was notoriously bad and the white colour was the worst for it as it shows up the paint loss more than any other colour. All the paintwork is original but we would recommend repainting the drip tray which would significantly improve the cosmetics of this machine.
