It's so cute!
That is a smoking deal, basically a 7X minilathe size but good quality. Some member needs to scoop that up pronto!
Would be a fun CNC lathe conversion :)
 
Thanks for posting Epete. I have wanted one of these for ever. More so then any of the other micro lathes from the 80's
I sent an message to the owner and they agreed so Sold, to this guy, picking up tomorrow.
The owner has other parts and equipment for sale so I may have a look at what else is there.

I love that you got this... Totally envious!
(it's too far away and all for me but still... what a cool machine)
 
I sent in a message as soon as I saw the post and I will be going tomorrow morning to pick up. I have been drooling over one of these since I was kid in the early 80's but figured I would never get one. The Taig lathe I have, that I got a little while ago will be going up for sale after I get this one home.

Problem is not getting it home at this point, hiding it from the wife might be a bit of an issue. Once I sell the Taig lathe it will be all good.
 
I originally just looked at the lathe mill picture, I didn't notice that it comes with a bunch of tooling, multiple chucks, gears and a steady rest.
 
I would have sniped this if I was in Calgary….. a really nice little small lathe would be sweet. Put it on the reloading bench in the house….
 
Got the lathe mill home last night. It is in really good shape. The prior owner passed recently and his daughter is selling his hobby stuff. I also got some brass, end mills and some other tooling. I'm on a budget so I limited the time looking through everything she has. Its not a lot but there was some quality stuff.

She has some other items that she is going to post including a very nice kennedy tool box and some measuring stuff including starrette. They also have some wood working tools including a very nice shop smith with lots of accessories. One item that was really neat is she has an old belt drive style dental drill. He dad was a doctor and her grandfather was a machinist.

Looks like there is only 1 gear in the box of stuff. That is ok, I might make this in to an els, I'm working on an nanoels for my busybee9x20 or make the gears as an exercise, might even give 3d printed gears a go. The gears are plastic and they are still available so if all else fails I can get them.
