I'd like to get some reactions to this (apparently well-used) Takisawa. I believe it's an older Japanese-built one(not Taiwanese)?
Reason I'm looking at this particular lathe is it's moderate size, relatively low weight and power requirements, and that it will just fit in my remaining shop space. Unusually for a dealer machine, it comes with a travelling steady, faceplate, and what looks like a decent 4-jaw chuck. I think it might be worth making an offer on. If so, what would you estimate to be a fair price? (I can go look at it if comments are favorable.)
Would appreciate your opinions, even if brief.
-thanks!
