Sorry to be so vague in the title of my post, but that's all I know about it other than he says it works and has a buck chuck. Price is $600. Seems like a great deal, but someone would have to look at it to see if it's worth buying.

It\s a Colchester Triumph 2000, Clausing Colchester clone. AKA American Turn Master and a few other knock offs.
 
I'm glad you recognized it. I knew it looked like a Clausing, but wasn't sure.

If I didn't have a lathe that does everything I need I'd be on my way to look at it for that price.
 
Oh man it is hard to convince myself that I don't need another lathe! I just have to keep telling myself it could just be another can of worms and I don't need another project! I see "Model 2649" but that doesn't turn up much in a google search. I wonder what size that lathe is?
 
No it won't last long. He has no clue what he has.

Before I posted it I had to talk myself out of leaving work and going to get it.

The biggest problem is loading it. Probably have to rent a fork lift. When I sold my VMC I had to wait weeks for a forklift to become available.

I'm surprised after 1800 views its still there.

But, he could be like others and not take the ad down after it has sold.

I'm trying to not think about it. I know how great deal it is if it's not totally destroyed. And that's more than likely 3 phase machine. So they have to get power to it somehow and I'd bet whatever they are using to power it would probably be included with the lathe.
