Looks like a much better kept version of my TS56. 1.375" spindle bore. 2-1/4x8 chuck threads. Tapered roller spindle bearings.(If its a TS)
The only complaint I have on mine is that I cant do metric threads. If someone buys this, you can get 2-1/4x8 nuts at Mcmaster Carr. this can really speed up the making of special purpose chucks! My action jig is a piece of huge axle tube welded to one of these nuts. Not as nice as Vipers, but functional and >$40

any lathe can cut metric threads, just need to figure out the gearing, usually a 127tooth gear is required.
Those small sheldons are good machines.
