Have a chance, although times running out, to purchase a heavy 10 like the one shown in the picture. Found this picture on the web. Appears to be the same model, but the one I am looking at is much shorter.
Now realize SB lathes dont come along too often down here in South Florida. The lathe belonged to the guys dad and has been sitting for a number of years. His dad took the headstock spindle out for some unknown reason.. most of the pieces appear to be there. The ways appear in good shape, but the cross slide has a full turn of play.. The motor runs and appears in good shape. The tooling is very minimal.. a lantern post, 3 jaw chuck, and a little more, but it does have what appears to be the taper turning tool. It is pretty dirty, but has potential. The bench is the same in the picture.
Could it be worth 700.00 ?? or should I pass?
