That's a great find and only £100. I'm looking forward to the rebuild.

Good work. Be good to see this running again.

Manual is incoming! TTA's are ott expensive and tbh you could make one for less than that! I have tried to buy one in the past, but most are incomplete. I paid £180 for my student, some years ago granted, but a smaller lathe stood next to it made over £400 at the same auction. The difference is that the smaller one was manhandled into the back of a van by two blokes, people see the student as much more heavy, and heavy machinery, especially if it is three phase, tends to make less. Luckily I have three phase!
