Hello everyone! I just won this American Pacemaker lathe. It was at a closed factory and I bid on just the photos and the advice of a machinist friend. I wanted to share it here and see what everyone thinks. They had it listed as a 12" by 72", but my research has me thinking it is a 16" by 54". I don't have a serial number or anything yet. The auction house required the use of a rigger, he is going to bring it through the door of the tool room, out of the building, and set it on my trailer for $300. Probably going to pick it up next week.

I know it's heavy, and 3 phase. But I have experience with convertors, and even have a couple 3 phase generator too.
Might be a bit big for a 'beginner' lathe, but for the price and the apparent condition, I'll take it.
I won it for $968 after buyers fees.
