Rockford 17 x 30 Metal Lathe $1,750 · NY usa
- Thread starter combustable herbage

Yes even it is a nice paint job on junk you'd think the time and effort to do so would almost be worth that. I think 17500 is much more likley.
Well if you get it for $1750 I'll double your money if you drop it off at my place as it travels by.

I was looking at a Rockford Lathe in Montreal. Seller has not been very co-operative in that I believe they are in a financial mess. Two trucks off the road because of inspection issues. Having to clear a warehouse and store machines outside because he can get more rent than the machine sales will pay. and so on... He has a lot of equipment that might go really cheap, The Rockford is not in the warehouse they need to clear.... See link below...

Some one in Ontario take a drive down then. I would just wire him the money and go there from Alberta but I am afraid this could be a scam.
I mean the machine would easily sell in AB in described excellent condition for $10,000.
