It's further distance than I had thought. It's over 700 miles round trip back to Knoxville so that's probably not realistically do-able. Only be in Knoxville about five days and back to Tampa.
That's a looooong way from Tampa, Fl! LoL. Out of curiosity, what is the bed width and ways width?
I also really wish I knew. I don't guess it dead and gone as of yet. As I see it I need to get off my butt and restore it. If that doesn't happen I'd probably try and sell it off as a "basket case" that just needs to put it back together. Everything was taken apart and degreased for painting. When I bought it, "it was a running lathe," and all that it needed was a new back gear and bull gear of which I replaced both. Wifey says to "get it off the patio or else!" ( Don't know what "or else" means but after 52 years of marriage I'd help her pack!" Ha Ha ). I'd like to keep it but 54" bed just not gonna work in my little shop. I've got about $425 in it and could part it out on eBay to recoup my investment and be done with it I'd guess. I'd hate to part out a working lathe! So hang in there with me a little longer and in the near future something will happen one way or another.
