Greetings All,
I found a Logan Model 200 for sale and I am considering it as a replacement for my Enco 9X20. The sales pitch is as follows-
"Logan Metal Lathe for sale. Nice old lathe, barely used for the last 35 or so years, sat covered up in a friend's garage, maybe used once or twice a year. I bought it to put in my shop but I already have a lathe and no room for this one. Everything seems tight, has a 3 jaw and a 4 jaw, steady rest, milling attachment and lots of bits and small tooling. 110 volt, just plug it in and go to work. V ways for superior accuracy, gunsmith type tailstock, steel change gears, threading setup, etc. It is about a 10 x 24 inch. Logan was a top quality lathe. This is American made, probably from the 50's. It could stand to be cleaned up and will probably need a new belt. $1800 cash."
A few pictures-
So what do you think of the price? Are there any specific problems with this lathe that I need to be aware of?
As always, Thanks in advance!!
Steve
