    Show off your vintage lathe.

    Ez- What close ups do you need? This guy sat in the barn since the 40's unused splattered with a grease gun. There is no scaling and only light surface rust but since I have no experience with vintage lathes only worked with newer models, so I am preferring other's opinions over mine. If you...

    Show off your vintage lathe.

    My Southbend 9" rescue. The guy was about to junk it if there were no responses on CL but I offered $60 and he took it.

    My little compressor blew up

    Cvairwerks: If you were in NC I could've had that wired up for you for about $50 and a few refreshments. That setup would have been interesting to just see.
