Hello All,
This is my first post here, and I'm pretty new to forums in general.
An old friend recently asked if I wanted to buy his dad's old lathe.
I have only ever researched new lathes and am still learning about these South Bends.
Cost wise, I have no idea what would be fair. Not looking to get robbed, but also do not want to rob his dad...
Lathe Info:
1943?
9in swing, 36in bed, 16in between centers.
Quick change gear box
Tapering attachment
Chasing dial
Converted to 110v and fitted with a flat belt
Tool holders, manuals for lathe and accessories, 4 jaw chuck, 2 face plates, live pipe center, oil, etc are also included.
I have not yet seen it in person.
What do you guys think and what can you tell me about this lathe?
Not exactly sure what this is
Thanks!
Paul
