Anyone fancy a REAL challenge

RotarySMP:
Would be wonderful lathe again if repaired and restored.

Manxmodder:
And that one is still a very reasonable price even with the damaged parts on it.

There are no far Eastern products that could come close to the quality of a machine like a DS&G,yet people willingly pay over £2 grand for a new machine that will then need a load of modifying to make it satisfactory.

I shake my head :palm:

Pete.:
Bit less of a challenge this one just needs a good clean-up and go-over. even if it's a bit worn it's still a stonking good lathe:

Manxmodder:
Pete, those CVA's are also a good sturdy machine. I've spent many hours turning on one very similar to this,and one of the features I always liked was the cross slide micrometer dial reads diametrically,so if you dial in 5 thou on the wheel then that is the amount the component dia is reduced by......OZ.

Hi All,
Another fine lathe sadly neglected  :(
There seems to be quite a few on ebay at the moment
