Anyone have any experience with one of these. I looked at one for sale today. Never heard of the brand. It was close to a 14"x50" . Looks like a great machine but the motor was missing. Not sure what I would be getting into with the motor missing but I was impressed by the quality.
 
I had one for about 5 years. Unique because of the planetary headstock. Spindle motor ran thru a Cleveland variator-- a transmission which is still made. It also had a back gear. If you cannot put it under power, expect the worst. The head stock cartridge and 3 electro-magnetic clutches may be toast. A dedicated pressure pump was essential to survival of this machine. Practical Machinist member "Halcohead" bought my Micro-Turn. Send him a pm. Also, do a search of past posts.

The missing motor may be deliberate to prevent discovery of a headstock problem .
Hence the saying " buyer beware ."
