Takisawa Lathe

I really like my Takisawa. It's a 2500 pound very solid lathe.
 
Lots of lathes available in California right now!!
Must be the economy. People are struggling IMHO
 
This looks like a company shutting down. They have listings for several machines
 
I saw that one. Says it only worked brass, for 40 years....

Don't have the space or money but maybe some day ;)

I'm looking for a turning center. Hopefully locally or close to it. I'd rather spend an extra $2k on a lathe than on shipping.

But everything I'm seeing is half way to or at east coast. The prices are nice, but again the shipping kills it.
 
That looks like a nice machine, and is a nice size for a hobbyist. Wonder how much wear of the ways in 40 years of production? Otherwise looks to be well cared-for.
 
Just found this one.

Although shipping is "questionable" :oops:
