Answered a CL add for this machine and found a pile of rust siting on a pallet in a warehouse. There were a couple of boxes of tooling that I made a low offer on.
The guy said that if I wanted the tooling I had take the lathe also - everything for $100. So the entire pallet got loaded into the back of my pickup. Tooling, lathe, change gears - the whole shebang!
Turns out the lathe was not in too sad of shape - entire thing came apart and went into the electrolysis bath, repaint and doing work again.
Lathe is very solid and works quite well.
