Thanks for accepting me, I know nothing about metal lathes but have lots of time to learn, would like to find a old English Myford.

Myfords are nice compact machines with a good reputation. I wouldn’t mind owning one either and there have been a couple come up in Victoria over the last few years but pretty pricey. One was especially nice — the owner (one owner machine) was a Myford rep here in town and bought one for his retirement down the road. Well, his road diverged a bit and he never even uncrated it so 40 years later it listed in mint condition, never even been run.

Good luck in your search, they are out there.
