So, I have been looking for a new lathe for a bit now, honestly because of COVID ruining my day and letting a Monarch slip through my hands and into a shredder after I off loaded my other one.
Anyways, I ran across this little one and started doing some research. I think this is one of the older styles due to the detent pin handles. It also has no chip tray. Did they make those like that?
So I guess my questions are:
1. Are the detent pins something to worry about?
2. Does anyone know anything about these years? It looks like like they are missing the cross slide stop.
3. I'm guessing it should weigh about 5000 lbs being an older 14", does that sound right?
I was wondering what y'all's thoughts are on this?
Sidenote, there is one in Pittsburgh, but it looks like it was dropped on it's face and the tailstock doesn't look original. I was also looking into that one. Any leads on any others would be much appreciated and I'm on a limited time frame due to my current moving situation.
