Machine is a 3" spindle, "Tri-Way 24". "Machine Number 2468" is stamped into the side of the way at the tail-stock end.
I took delivery on this thing today. Looks to be in decent shape but won't know until i get into it more. Motor is not original and at 5HP seems a tad small. Also looks like the man gearbox cover is a shop made retrofit.
This thing fits my available space perfectly which was the main appeal for me. Machine base is 3 ft wide and entire length is under 12 ft. Table is 3 x 5 ft which is quite large for a machine this size. This machine was up for auction and i had traded notes with the auctioneer to get some basic information. In the end I passed on bidding as the machine has no outboard support. The machine didn't sell so the auctioneer called me and we made a deal. As many have noted, the real cost of these machines is moving them. In this case, shipping and rigging were 6X the machine purchase price. The rigger had a load cell on their crane and he told me the machine weight came in at 12,500 lbs which is quite a bit less than the 18,000 lbs i had expected.
