XYZ Proturn CNC lathe on eBay, seller listing masses of other stuff. Says buy it now price is £1400 delivered ! So I email him and get this reply: Thank you for your interest. Sorry for the late reply. The item is still for sale and available for viewing in Kirkwall, Orkney - North Scotland. It belonged to my father who unfortunately passed away few weeks ago. All related paperwork are available in my name. My last asking price is £1400 including delivery to your home address. Where abouts are you based? See below some info on the item : XYZ 410 CNC gap bed lathe with prototrack lx2 control In good condition for age was working when removed from factory 3 weeks ago Complete with 3 jaw chuck I look forward to your reply.

Time will tell! |

If it belonged to his late, lamented, father; why is it in a factory? Are there many factories in Orkney? |
| AdeV:
While you're on your way to Orkney, why not pop in and see this little gem? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Boxford-ANC-CNC-Lathe/112930558180?hash=item1a4b2f90e4:g:uvcAAOSwP8lazZEH Only a grand, and it looks like it's exactly the sort of thing you love (a broken down, battered looking CNC :D) |

Two of those on eBay Ade. Not keen on non slant bed CNC lathes - they are basically conversions of manual lathes. |
