Hello Everyone,
I am a new member, and I have to say WOW. I posted on the Southbend threat yesterday a lathe I was interested in and was given enough info that I am not going to make the purchase. The users there saved my behind. So here I am, looking at another Logan. I cannot seem to find much info at all online about the model 1875 Logan Lathe. I am currently working a trade deal on. I will be going up to look at it tomorrow, it is owned by an older gentleman that is a machinist. He has owned this for several years, I will be taking my tools to give it a good overall accuracy check which he is fine with. The machine looks very clean and well maintained also. So my question is this, and I know this will vary based on the amount of tooling. What might the base price be on one of these with what is seen in the pictures? Just looking for a ballpark as he has stated there is a lot of tooling some of which I am getting the impression is not pictured. Any info on the history of these machines along with what these are going for would be appreciated. I am in south west Florida and these do come up somewhat regularly. I have seen some pretty high and low pricing on these at times, it is all about who owns it and the value "they" place on the machine. Just looking to get a fair assessment that's all. Thanks for looking and any info that can be provided.
