wmw lathe

Does anyone know about this lathe and the value?View attachment 311770

" WMW " was the logo for the East German Machine Tool Industry. That was an umbrella organisation for many separate machine tool makers. They made pretty decent quality machine tools in the main, some were excellent quality. I think the " Niles " factory made the lathes but I could be wrong, they might have made the range of bigger lathes than that one.

As I don't live in the USA I've no idea what it's worth. If it was in the UK you may get £1,000 for it if you were really lucky. There isn't much demand for home shop lathes that size and commercial outfits would like something better.

Regards Tyrone.
