I don’t get it.

When looking for a lathe you think you have seen it all and then you see this. Asking price $8,500. I swear my dog is more intelligent than some people.

What am I looking at?

Looks like a fine looking 10EE to me.

I'm not familiar with the lathe in the pic. Please ask your dog to tell me if it's worth $8500 or not.

If it is a 10EE that's pretty much the price where they start

They painted 99.9% of it baby blue.

Stupid paint job on a potentially cool lathe......what's he hiding? Baby blue is my least fav color of all time.

I mean seriously? They painted the chuck, lead screw, feed rod, all hand wheels, apron and compound controls, ways and even over sprayed the tachometer gauge. They should be beaten with the krylon can they used.

Yet they actually masked off the Monarch badge. Or maybe they ran out of masking tape.

There was a guy a while back selling lathe chucks that were completely painted green or blue, jaws, pinions, h all, must have been the same dude!

Baby blue is my least fav color of all time.

So.... would you take this over a baby blue one?
