G;Day from the centre of Australia.
I saw this lathe advertise in Alice Springs in a recycling yard ( Alice is the closest town 500 Km away) in March 2018, I only wanted the stand for my Hercus 260, but when I picked it up I found out it was an Hercus ARL.
It appeared the be in quite nick, considering it is 10 years younger than me, I thought I would restore this one instead of my 260.
When I bought her home, I had to dismantle her to get her off the trailer and stacked the parts on an obsolete hospital bed, 6 month later I transferred to a different department at work so bought home my bench that I originally took there because it was too big for my shed.
For some reason the missus is keeps whinging about 2 lathes, a hospital bed and a bench on the back veranda, strange woman.
