Anyone interested in this? It's in my backyard and I can easily take a look today. In fact I'm thinking on picking it, giving it a dust and clean and a whiff of rattle can and put it back up at 5k.

I like that 3" bore but it might be pushing the edges of "Hobby Machine".

Matt, you may have noticed that Portland CL has had quite a few big manual lathes like that for the last year. None of
them are moving. I think the local machine shops are all getting rid of them (in favor of CNC, presumably). Trying to
flip a machine like that, particularly in Grants Pass, might be tough.
 
If only I had the finances for one that size, they are a work horse of a lathe.......................:cool:
 
How many bedrooms does it have? And it ought to have a garage too if it’s for hobby work...
 
The seller is a machinist employed by the machine shop that sold it because they are upgrading to CNC. He bought it to flip and make a few bucks. I'm really not interested in buying it but he has a 4-jaw he may be willing to part out.

He has it under a tarp on a trailer at his house. I'm going to take a look and try to get the 4-jaw at a reasonable price
