Auction Update

Warner Swasey #5 Turret lathe/mill sold for $50
 
Believe it or not , some 20 years ago I picked up a LeBlond Regal 20" x 80" Toolroom lathe that cut penetrators its entire life . Paid $900 for it . Sold one of the chucks for $300 so I had 6 bills into it . I used it for 5 years , then consigned it to my friends company . Centra Corp in Md . I ended up getting over $6000 when he sold it ! Selling price was about 12 G . Very nice machines are the Regals and they do command big bucks . And to add , I kept all the tooling and still have it to this day ! :grin:
 
Holy moly. A lot of very big items close at very low prices....
 
I saw the Warner Swasey already on CL for $750.
There were a few other things, like Equipto cabinets I would've really liked but the pick up days don't jive with my work schedule.
 
Big 5 hp single phase compressor for $150... Come on...
 
Or a 7.5 hp three phase motor with new bearings $15
 
Looked like a very nice lathe, Newel DRO, set of collets, many chucks, But $6k, plus $1350 tax/buyers premium and another $370 load out Fee!.
