Lathe identification

[Ottawa Liam]

Hey people, new member. I’m a mechanic with no machining experience but looking to get into it. Looking at a lathe for sale. I was hoping someone would be able to tell me what kind of lathe it is, not necessarily the make model but more what it’s good for. And maybe what it’s worth.I am also now realizing I don’t know how to post pictures here. Anybody able to fill me in?

Sounds like a Monarch 10EE... or maybe an Emco Maximat 11... or a Bridgeport milling machine... could also be mini refrigerator. Sort of hard to tell. A detail or two more may help.

I have a Monarch 10EE, a Bridgeport, and a mini fridge, and it looks nothing like any of those. Could be an Emco though, I've seen a few pics and there are similarities.
Sorry, sarcasm is my primary language, as you'll find it is with many of us here, right 52 Ford?

I think what the gentleman is asking is, how do you post pics?

Agree that if it smells like Molsons then it is likely a refrigerator.

Depends on how old the cars are he's working on. Never know when someone's going to show up with a busted spoke on one of the wheels on their Model A.
