Colchester lathe, $1500, Nelson BC - Needs work...

Six O Two

This looks to be one of the free lathes listed earlier, so not exactly a deal, more like a good tidy profit...

And yet, it somehow looks in worse condition now -- Maybe dropped in transport? The chip guard is all bent now...

Fork lift damage to the tin back splash. I have similar, though not AS extensive, damage on my 2500 Master.

Kinda a shame, but if you have 10 HP or so worth of electrical supply in your shop, it likely could become a decent Farm Lathe!

Shame about it being allowed to get rusty. IMO, the largest risk is that the headstock bearings are kacked, as they are proprietary, non-standard sized Gamet bearings, and they are pretty (hugely!) proud of them, and price them accordingly!
