Looking for a 3rd lathe for the shop (if you count the unimat as a second lathe?:biggrin
and came across this one:
variable speed Delta 14" with a bad motor..
Never saw it yet.. but heres the guys response:
He is asking $100 Cdn. ($94 usd)
Looking at getting a second lathe done up for doing pendants,etc and that way I dont need to remove the mandrel,etc from my existing lathe.
Are the mech for these easily replacable and sound like a good deal?
Thanks Jason

it's the variable speed Delta 14" swing modified to handle a
19" diameter piece. Bed is about 4 feet long I believe, I'll try to get
out there and take a pic today. The variable speed mechanism in these
units was faulty, so I replaced it with a good balanced pulley. Any
motor 1/2 to 1hp would work great.
