I purchased a TOS Trencin SN 40 B 16/24 X 60 lathe a while back. It was purchased new in 78 by a local mill. The millwright who ran this machine tooled it out very well and bought it at auction when the mill closed down. It had been in storage for the last ten years. It has a 16 inch Bison 4 jaw and two 14 inch three jaw chucks on a D1-6 spindle. It also has a center rest and 5 live centers up to 8 inch. There is a C1 Aloris QC with 20 toolholders and a cabinet with over 1000 inserts that need to be sorted out. It also has 5 Springfield boring bars fom 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inch. It also came with MT drills from 1\8 inch up to 2-1/2 inch in 64 ths. I have not found any dings or wear on the ways. I paid 5000 for the whole package and think I did well. I have searched the forums and have not found much information. So my questions are what are the general thoughts on this machine? Are there many of them out there? Any big do's or don'ts? Anybody running one? I have flushed out the gear boxes and found no metal. I do need to find a good ball oiler that will fit all the different size fittings. Thanks for any info
