  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Looks more like a 9 or 10K UMD to me.
Ridiculous price though.

Definitely worth $320, not sure about 3200 ;)

Looking at condition per pics and 3ph motor I don't think its worth more then maybe 700-800 max.

Lets see what Dabbler says. Note almost no tooling of any kind.
 
Any halfway decent SB 9 with a gearbox is worth more than $1000. Although they’re old tech they are solider than a 10x22 chinese lathe.
 
That's a SB9A, pre-WW2. The racing stripes on the headstock give it away. Properly lubed, these never wear out.

This one shows very little cleaning, some rust and not great maintenance (or any lube). It has also been used extensively for wood turning: not terrible, but it will need a complete teardown and rebuild to work really well.

A perfect, pristine one should go for around $1700-2000. This one is worth just south of 700$ -- IF -- it has the 4 jaw chuck also. Without the 4 jaw chuck, I'd pay 600$ tops. If I was in a generous mood.

I agree with @Johnwa - these are ruggedly built, well designed machines. Far better than the current 7X28/30 lathes of today. The problem with this one is lack of maintenance, and likely play in the headstock bushings due to lack of oiling. [Headstock bushing in this lathe take serious skill to properly replace. everything else is easily fixed.]
