Metal lathe training?

My husband picked up a 1950 Southbend metal lathe. He's a welder and has been fabricating parts for tractor restorations. The classes at LCC are geared toward modern machines. Anybody out there in to old school belt driven lathes?

I have a bit of woodworking experience with such things. Have him check out YouTube if he has not already, and if restoring anything he should consider starting a channel and posting clips to YouTube, the community can be amazing.
