Ha, ha. EXCEPT for the legs.
$150 worth of scrap anyone? The cone pulley might be of use setting a drive for another lathe. And the little tid-bits and ephemera might be cleaned up and displayed around one's shop to show others what good taste you have in vintage machinery - or to provide parts for other machines missing EVERYTHING BUT THE LEGS.
Is this possible?
Anyway, intriguing in its historical connection - not many Mann Lathes around even on a good day. Now one less.
Vintage industrial metal lathe parts
Sorry. Pet peeve of mine. This lathe from about 1873. It was fine until a "modern" decided to "cash in the legs" and pay for his kids Christmas Presents.
Or one hopes.
