Have steady rest but keeping that with lathe, not sure about the micro adjustable. Would not be willing to part with mine except I have a larger (11 inch) lathe. Yours looks nice after restoration.

Thinking about it being 84 yrs old is....Wow. its had a very well cared for life.the wiring was still original & "Scary bad" it's a wonder it didn't short itself out. The original switch has contact lugs so thick I doubt you could ever wear them out.
