What would this lathe be worth?

[Lenny]

I would like other's opinions on what would be a reasonable price to ask for my Rockwell/Delta 46-525 Lathe?
It was originally in the local school woodshop and ran on 3 Phase. I still have the motor but switched it out with a new 1hp single phase. It was always in the back of my mind to convert it to a VFD.

This thing is HEAVY! I don't expect to try to sell it on here but thought others here might be able to help me determine what it might be worth.

Not sure even IF I will try to sell it, but right now I don't use it (I have a Delta 46-460 inside where it's warm and I don't turn large bowls) and could use the money for upgrading to a digital slr, specifically the Canon T2i.

Thoughts on the lathe or camera appreciated!

Lenny; A fellow in the windy city has one for sale. Says he's had it for 15 years and has never used it. It has been converted to 120 volts, and he is asking $750 for it. Jim S

I was thinking between $800-$1000. I like Seamus's idea!

If it's in your way, I can keep it in my garage.
