Needs chains to keep it tamed and it needs a clutch, to much machine for me. lol

The model is Enterprise but who is the builder? I see an MK logo and the one label has Germany but I haven't found any references to the actual company.

Mysore Kirloskar - branded Enterprise. Made in India. Modern Tool sold them for years. I bought my 1550 from them in 1983, it has been a good machine for me (I like it, still use it most every day).

@Chipper5783 - Thank you, I have seen the name before just didn't recognize the logo.

Good to hear your machine is working for you, I read a lot of not good comments about stuff coming out of India.

In my recent experience, the new India is the old China. I've purchased roughly a dozen things from India in the last two years - some deliberately, some not knowing. All of it was junk. Usually an order of magnitude worse than claimed. It will be a long time before I buy anything else on purpose made in India.

The hold down chains tightened over the ways drives me nuts. No respect for the machine shown by the seller, he treats it like scrap iron.

I guess he's going to take half that when a savvy buyer points that out.

From $7000 to 1000 is a hella drop lol. Musta paid $500 at the auction.

Should at least take a photo without chains across the ways

My lathe is a MK as well. Very well built heavy castings. If it needs to be 1/2" make it an inch thick. They seem to have farmed the castings out all over for the precision work. My ways have Poland stamped on them. It will be the last lathe I own.
I wish they gave more facts in these ads, like headstock bore, etc
