I had purchased a basket case Logan 200 lathe about 2 years ago as part of my new metal working hobby, and planned on putting it back together and up and running once I retired. Well last Thursday, November 8, was my last working day and on Saturday morning I was looking at CL's and noticed a 820 Logan for sale about 3 hours east of me. I excitedly told my wife about it and the first thing she said “why aren't you calling him up about it”? Which I immediately did and 7 hours latter, and $875 less money, I was unloading and moving it to my 10'x14' wood shed workshop.
It had a decent amount of tooling (way more than my 200) and I just couldn't pass it up. So now the 820 is my first retirement project and I will document the cleanup/fixing/getting running process. I will not paint as I kind of like the patina of old arn and this lathe is really not in bad shape.
I still plan on getting the 200 put together/up and running and then CL's for some happy new lathe owner.
This is the CL's posting and lathe in back of my wife's CRV.

While not related to the 820, I purchased these hammers for $55 on Sunday. There is a solid brass and copper which I really wanted.![20181117_171814.jpg 20181117_171814.jpg](https://www.hobby-machinist.com/data/attachments/237/237263-e9ff82b5d49c8fbda35a4bbbbb0f7962.jpg)
