I just saw this new Craigslist posting and wanted to see if anyone was familiar with this Rockwell/Delta Lathe. I have left a message to get more info, such as model number and running order.

Update: I just spoke with him and he said everything is there, even the 4 original tools that came with it. He said there were two numbers so it is either a model 46-111 or FL756.

I just learned that you cannot post CL Links so here are the pictures as posted on CL. Oh, and the asking price is $150.

At $150 I would jump on it. Good lathe and an excellent value especially if its in as good of shape as it appears!

I agree with Tom. Nice and clean. For $150 I would buy it.

That was what my first lathe was a little older one . I wish at times I wouldn't sold it. but the shop has a limited room . I sold mine for 150, fair price I would say.

Looks exactly like my, Um, I think it would be my 3rd lathe. Had it back in the 60's. It had an 11 inch swing over the bed, probably 14 in. over the gap. The stand even looks like the one I made. I found it to be a good lathe, much better than the Sears tube lathe that it replaced. Lathes number one and two were pretty crappy lathes, but hey, I was having fun and really didn't know any better.
