It is a shame how many good machines are left to sit in the weather before being sold. It will take a good rigger to load and unload this machine and not let it roll over.

Sold for $17,700. While it seems like a bunch of money, think what this could ROI in the hands of a skilled machinist.

That was a ton a money, but it brought the big bucks because it has a giant spindle bore. Such lathes are desirable for threading on the end of drill stem or big cylinder rod. It is a super rarity on the west coast. Crying shame it got set out to rust, as it looked almost unused.
