<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 190519, member: 54&quot;]Found this near-new condition lathe about 400 mi from home.&nbsp; It is one of the best-made ever, kinda like a Rolex of engine lathes.&nbsp; Vintage is circa 1940&#039;s I think but this brand used art-deco style castings for the outer shell, which is kinda neat.&nbsp; I am sorely tempted to just collect it, even if I never use it.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have much need to machine the large items it&#039;ll turn-up to 32&quot; diameter and 108&quot; long.&nbsp; I&#039;d have to hire riggers and specialized movers to get it home.&nbsp; It is about 17&#039; x 8&#039; footprint, and weighs 7 or 8 tons.&nbsp; Wife will be extremely unhappy unless I get blessing in advance.&nbsp; Somehow I don&#039;t think she will go for &quot;it followed me home!&quot; or &quot;I got you a very special and unusual X-mas present!&quot;&nbsp; I can&#039;t help it.&nbsp; WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_4205.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
