Morning everyone. I've been in search of a good lathe, this will be my first machine tool. My little brother has been putting the word out and he called me last night. An older gentleman he knows is looking to divest himself of his lathe. It's an A-Trump 1336C and is in very good condition.
I'm not familiar with this brand, what all can you folks tell me before I buy this? I did get a couple pictures sent, but they're crappy cell phone pics. Only real good one is the number plate. But this could be a very good deal for someone (me) who wants a lathe but not a little hobby machine. If I buy it, it comes with tooling, fixtures, stock, the whole nine yards. The current owner hasn't ran it in a couple years, wants it gone, but wishes to see it go to someone who will appreciate it.
What do you all think? For the $1500 he's asking, its a steal. But is it something I'll be happy with? Let me know....
Thank you,
Rick
