When I was looking for a lathe, I alllmossst bought a late 1930s 13x30 gear head Leblond. It was a beautiful, extremely low houred machine. The man who had owned it had worked as a machinist for General Electric and had made not only half a dozen tool holders but the Aloris style tool post as well. The pieces were beautiful - truely the work of a master machinist.
I actually drove from Minneapolis to Cincinnati, OH to go get it but changed my mind when I got there.
The seller was Really angry at me and for a bit I was a little afraid of him but I made it out of there and came home with an empty trailer.
