FREE !!??!! Microcut 1550VS Lathe Minneapolis

Microcut 1550VS Lathe - tools - by owner - sale

We had a lightning strike at our shop and this lathes circuit board was broken by it. We are buying a new one and getting this one out of the way. You have to come get it and load it up yourself....

minneapolis.craigslist.org

Listing says that their shop was struck by lightning. They're getting a new lathe and need this one out, apparently.

They say that the circuit board is fried... but I don't know how a circuit board for a manual lathe could keep it from operating... maybe just the DRO?

Anyway, go grab it if you have need/room/time!!!

** I've no relation to the 'seller'. And I've no idea if it's actually legit, but it seems to be so. **

Deal of the Century…looks like a good quality heavy lathe. Bet it’s an easy fix.

WOW! Copy of a Clausing-Colchester 15x50. Bet it's gone already.

I'd guess it needs a new VFD.

If I were close enough, I'd be all over that.

Wow. Heck of a freebie- just the kind I like too- electrical problem

I'd guess it needs a new VFD.

A VFD could replace one of those big control boards I see on bigger lathes?

Ad is still up. Surprising: I'd have thought someone would grab it on the first day!

 

[FOMOGO]

Hard to imagine it would still be there. Quite the deal if it's real. Mike

Gone!
I live about 5 miles from there.
Have the PU, trailer, equipment and know how to move it.
Oh well...
