I understand That rules are rules and I will obey them, But at what point does the defining line between industrial machines and "toys" kick in ? My reason for mentioning this point is as follows I recently picked up a Zyto lathe (British make) 3 and a quarter inch centre height with lines and features not unlike many of its big sisters in industry, O.K. it is generally considered a model makers lathe of the 1930-57 period, a man I have spoken to in the last year picked up one for his model making , his little machine came out of industry. Do I also lump my Boley & Leinen lathe into toys class by reason of its size I personally feel we miss out on some magnificent items of technology by being a bit too rigid.Because the owner doesn’t want model making lathes and toys clogging up the place. There are a couple forums that don’t directly relate, like Antiques and Southbend, but his site, his rules.

Lots of parts can be swapped over. See: Emco Unimat lathes Almost certainly the best bet is to buy another (or even more) and build one good one up. The remaining "spares" will then sell for good money on eBay.Had it for years, need some small piecesView attachment 255390 if anyone has some spares. View attachment 255391
