I'm in the process of helping a customer liquidate there business. They were in the business of manufacturing food service equipment. It's a fairly small shop but there is a lot of useful stuff.
The best piece in the auction is a monarch model "C" 12 x 36 lathe.(I'm not entirely sure if this is correct. I am going there tomorrow and will post correct information tomorrow afternoon) This shop is the lathes second owner. The first owner bought it new out of government surplus in 1946 he ran a one man shop that was primarily a screw machine shop. This lathe got very little use and was very well taken care of. When he retired about 1982 or so the lathe was sold to it's present owner who got it with the contents of the shop. he really had no use for it and it was shoved into a back room where it has sat until now. I have run this lathe and it is a very nice, solid, tight lathe. It has an extra dial that measures the distance the saddle travels in "Z"
Other than that there is an Index mill, two machining centers that both run, a couple of turret lathes, there is a Harding DV-59 with a pile of tooling, bunch of drill presses. lots more.
