LATHE Drummond A Type 4" Round Bed

[Kel]

Hi Guys,
           I have a very interesting and excellent working British lathe for sale. A Drummond round bed produced from 1908 to 1940 with only minor model enhancements over that period. Google it to have a more detailed picture of its capabilities and uses.
The lathe has the following
                                         11.5 inches between centres
                                          On / Off switch wired for forward and reverse
                                          Set of screw cutting gears
                                          Automatic feed
                                          4 post tool holder ( home made )
                                          3 jaw chuck
                                          Assorted tools and cutters
                                          Attached to its own sturdy metal table
                                          Imported and sold by A.E. Herbert of Sydney
A small brake on one of the pulley's, this does not affect it's use as it is a very old breakage

Pretty heavy lathe so pick up only, I am located at Dural, Sydney not far from Hornsby.
This is a very rare lathe and I would like a fellow collector of irreplaceable creations ( some people call it junk or scrap iron ) to buy it for what I consider to be very reasonable price of $650. You will not be dissapointed.
It has served me well over the years but I need to clear the shed of some goodies, however, I still have another lathe ( Hercus ) to serve my needs.
Contact me if you have any questions you would like answered.
Thanks for looking, please don't be slow as it will sell quickly when advertised.

Lovely old lathe made many a bit of swarf I bet. I can't work out how the saddle moves along the bed??

the handle at the end of the bed moves the saddle, see picture below the A E Herbert picture. There is a threaded bar that runs along the inside of the bed and this drives the saddle, the lever below the saddle engages the auto feed and yes it has created a lot of sworf over the years.
