Hi,
Thanks for posting this David. It's a good job I didn't attend the meeting or this lathe would be #5 in my garage; its worth £150 as is because it looks a robust bit of kit and even a lathe like this opens up a whole new turning world. An engineering lathe doesn't need lots of change wheels or power feeds to be useful because for one off jobs its not difficult to turn a couple of handles by hand in fact doing so is quite therapeutic.
John our local postmaster has a vintage engineering lathe for sale but so far I've managed to keep my head down not asking too many details about it.
Kind regards, Col.
