Either that, or he's smokin' wacky weed!

Or he's trying to save up for his *** reassignment surgery.

Don't forget, it's old and heavy. "I now wut Ey goot."

A whole gallon of toluene went into that price.... Posted the info on the Practical Machinist site to see what they say...

This being Florida and the add coming out of Orlando I think you prob. nailed it right on the head

 

[PugetDude]

At least it shows well...

That'd be great for a working museum.

For someone actually wanting to use the machine, at that price point one can get a much more capable machine for the money. Start at scrap price or drop a zero, which ever is higher.

too many 0's

10 feet long.. quite a lathe

Sniffing glue . . . . no . . . . dropped his crack pipe . . . YES !!!

Looks like cobwebs on everything and hasn't been touched in decade.

Did daddy die and he's smoked away rest of inheritance ????

Only a 1.5 hp electric motor! Probably just enough to spin the shaft (if it's not bound up).

Haha His wife wants him to sell but he doesn't lol

Eh, except for that thing has a very low top end, and remember that torque is inversely proportional to speed reduction. It won't be a hogging machine (won't be at any HP, just not rigid enough), but I doubt that the 1.5hp will be very limiting.

I'm not sure. I was guessing that it's a 16" SBL. I think they typically have a 3 hp motor. Bigger chucks and heavier work piece capabiltiy.

Maybe I just like overkill. I have a 1.5 hp motor on my 9" SBL even though they originally came with 1/2 hp motors.

Yeah, that's just asking for problems IMHO. I hope you use the clutch when power feeding. My 10" has a 3/4hp and it stalled for a second once, I got a bit heavy handed on a parting tool, split second it broke the tool clean off.

It's not a problem for me. I can adjust the tension on the drive belts.

Dennis, that was the before picture.
Here's the after:

 

[Dennis Leigh Henry]

LOL... I saw those when I Googled... What is curious.. I remember the old fashion model glue (15 cents at the Ben Franklin 5 & 10 store)... and remember when they "safe'd" it up.. The Testor brand "good stuff" tubes were orange.. so not sure what the gray is all about in those pictures..

The grey tube was Testors filler, like bondo. Orange tube was the good glue. Then the blue tube, the safe stuff, which would have been fine if it had actually worked as glue, which it didn't do very well.
