That is a very cool old school lathe Dennis & you'll be sorry, later on for letting it go mate. If I didn't have one, I'd be jumping through hoops to get that one. Jimson

Dennis the lathe is worth way more than $500 on it's own. All the nutters buying old dirt bikes, it's the same with other items like your lathe. People like collecting things aspeacialy if there in wotrking order. Jimson
