I owe a thank you to outofbounds for posting the Walla Walla Plomb sale link, and for Smokeshow69 for emphasizing it.
This is off Plomb subject, but came from it.
I clicked on the link. Walla Walla: within driving distance, but not worth it for a Plomb box with a bit of misc. But, while I'm on craigslist, check there to see if anything else in Walla Walla to sweeten the deal. I click on tools, and first up, just posted is an ad for 2 lathes, 2 mills and tooling for $1500. Telephone #, so I call immediately. Talk for a bit, this is the real deal, retired machinist, needs shop cleaned out NOW for immediate house sale offer. Will give me $300 off if I can come get it immediately. So, I hook up car hauler and 8 hour drive today, plus 2 hours loading and rigging. Nice Logan lathe with quick change gearbox, decent taiwan mill with new set of R8's, screw cutting small craftsman lathe with gears and tooling, and a bridgeport for parts (part of it). Here's the trigger photo from the Plomb ad, and a picture of the tooling that came with the lot. No pictures of the machines, still on trailer in the dark.
It was too late coming home to swing through Walla Walla and pick up the Plomb, so it's still at large.
