Commodore Dr, Ottawa, make a offer

It is actually a Canadian made MacDougall lathe. Fairbanks-Morse was a tool-machine supplier. I have had 2 Southbend lathes pre-WW2 models that were sold and shipped to Fairbanks-Morse in Edmonton in 1936.

They also have a 2007 vintage large hydraulic band saw up for the same offer.

That's actually pretty close to me. I might see if I can take a look. I wonder how old it is.

Vintage Machinery doesn't have much on McDougall Lathes and a quick perusal here and on HM didn't turn up much more. I've seen the lathes.co.uk page on McDougall. Perhaps that's one of the German made headstocks that they mention. Does anybody know where else I might find information on them?

I contacted the guy out of curiosity asked him :
How long has it been outside? A, just since it snowed
Do you have a price in mind? , no answer

If you go lets us know if there are other goodies, I'm not that far away.

The seller posted a second add with some different pictures and details. Price on this one is $1200, but that might be a placeholder still. Says it's a 16 inch swing table, which isn't the most clear way to put it. Also that "3 220 volt motor", which I'm taking as 3 phase 220 V motor.

A lathe laying on its side on a broken skid outdoors is a total no-go for me.

 

[YotaBota]

At least it's not laying on the handles.

It’s hard to say there isn’t really any evidence of abuse through dropping it could have been laid down for shipping. Has anyone bothered to inquire?

Didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling. Looking at the way it's is been treated speaks volumes.

Still that’s why it’s outside not why or what it needs

One of pictures in the now three ads for it that I've found shows it in a truck bed (This one). Id guess that it was removed using other than the best of methods.
