JimGo called me and said his friend was in charge of an estate. They needed someone to clean out a gentleman's wood shop. They sent him a picture of this lathe. Now, this is not a new lathe by any means, but if you know equipment, this is an "oldie and a goodie".
NOW HERES THE CATCH: If you want either the lathe or the Radial Arm, ya gotta USE it. It would be fabulous to restore this old lathe (It still has a pen on it!), and it wouldn't take much. The only rough spots are the legs, and maybe a little surface rust on the bed. You can't take it and sell it, it needs to go to a home where someone will take care of it with respect... respect to the machine, and to Carl Gagliardi, the owner now deceased.
Either are free for the taking... they're in Woodbridge, Va. You will make arrangements through me to retrieve the equipment. The earliest opportunity will be Wednesday or Thursday, and we are at the mercy of the gal handling the estate. There are still some bowl blanks and pen blanks if you're interested as well.
Don't misunderstand, both are in working order. The lathe can be plugged in and used, as well as the radial!!
There is one person already considering the lathe, so first refusal is theirs. The radial saw is still up for grabs. I should know something by Saturday. After that, first serious post here gets it.
Please post here, I will check in Friday and Saturday. I will call you to make arrangements.
ALERT: I will be putting together a few "grab bag boxes" of pen kits and wood. Once I've sorted through the piles, I'll let ya know.
