Hello,
I have an interesting story. Some years ago I purchased a Hendey tool room lathe. My cousin stored it for me in Washington state for about 7 years and finally I got a chance to go look at it and figure out how to get it home to Montana. I discovered that somewhere along the line the lathe had been dropped onto its top and I don't have the expertise to fix it. It is the Barber Coleman (later) version of the lathe and looks complete although the cross slide looks to be set up for some kind of production work. I want to sell the lathe as a parts machine. I took a few pictures but they are useless as I couldn't gain access to the front side because of the way it is stored, which by the way is inside and has been since my cousin picked it up. I know these are sought after lathes and I am hoping someone could use it for parts. Because I couldn't access the front of the cabinet I can't verify for sure that the motor and drive is all there but my guess is it is complete. I am trying to determine if there is any interest so please let me know. they have a forklift to load where it is stored. I am not sure about price, but am motivated to sell.
