Hi Everyone
I have an old Myford lathe that is left over from my old auto electrical days and about which I know very little. I bought it with some other auto electrical equipment nearly twenty years ago and have only ever used it for very basic machining of commutators etc, no thread cutting or other fancy stuff which is way beyond my level of competence. The lathe doesn't have much in the way of accessories except for a live centre?(basically a jacobs chuck on a bearing that fits into the tailstock) and I doubt that it has its original motor. It has been sitting on a bench in my garage for several years largely unused, collecting dust and taking up space. Is there any demand for these old machines and what would be a fair price to ask for it?
Cheers
Matt
