Three for sale (up to 24 X 192) in same shop on Houston CL - hoping for any "reasonable" offer
Hope someone can save this beast, it is in extreme NE Texas and near a few other states.
The Std modern badge on the lathe is curious. Maybe they did a resto for the govt? That still wouldn't explain the size on the tag - 26 x 30.

Why cant these guys throw a couple of sheets of old roofing iron over and spray the lathe with a coat of waste oil.There is some good machines sitting out in the weather.A toolsteel bed would develop serious rust very quickly.
Wow that went for a lot of money for what it is!
In the second photo, what's that small knob and lever just above the crossfeed wheel?
Because they just don't care! I did mil surplus for many years, standard mo was bring in a beautiful pristine machine and plunk it out in the yard for 1 year minimum to get a good patina, then auction it off and snivel at the bidders for being cheap.
More than I expected. At least it isn't a scrapper price.The thing looks so clean, with residual liquid, I wonder if it was pressure washed. Of course oily grime was good protection.
