I just picked up a Monarch 12CK engine lathe off Craigslist for $600.00. The control handles are broken, but all there. The ways, stained a bit, but look really great, no damage. On the tailstock end of the ways there is an inspection mark with U.S.Navy insignia and BRV on a couple of name plates on the machine. Can anyone tell me what kind of ship it was on? Also the chuck system looks to be a D-1-6 but I'm not sure. The lathe will be the most modern lathe I own thus far. Looks to have a #3 Morse Taper in the tailstock and a #4 M.T. in the headstock. The swing is 14.5 and 54" between centers. I was told the handels were broke to demil it. Any input would be great. Thanks, Mike
