Got the Sheldon $350. Hardinge $800.
Sheldon has no visible ware on ways, saddle ran full length with lock snugged , all gears intact , spindle ran smooth and quiet,
Auto feeds operated, but it's a mess, going deep sea fishing tomorrow, but Friday I'll check into it more ,May swap motors on the Sheldon to a 1ph 1.5hp
And figure out how to get it to oroville Monday as I didn't bring my trailer with me.

Cool...that's a hell of a buy on a great machine.
 
So I'm going to rent a u haul trailer to get the Sheldon to oroville, two day rental $108. so I'll still be paying $450 for it . It's going to need a real good disassembly ,cleaning , paint ,lube ,reassembly
as it seems red scotchbrite fibers and polishing compound are everywhere.
It will be a long project , I still need to do a lot of work to the house.
I'll start a new thread in the Sheldon section with pics
