Someone posted a topic in the general forum asking "what did you do while the forum was down?" Well, I discovered Craigslist. Until Saturday I had never seen it.

Last night just home from work I found a local add for an "old metal lathe" with a crappy photo, but one leg was recognizable.

I know very little about these old lathes. I can see that the Y feed knob is gone and I don't know what's up with the spindle. Is that the spindle nose? I am currently burried in a CNC retrofit project so it may be some time before I touch it. I know it's kind of a taboo subject, but is this worth more parting out or selling whole? I have been looking for a 13"(ish) Clausing type lathe for awhile, I would be putting the money toward that. -Mike
