Hi folks,

There is a lady on the other side of town with

a 12' Rockwell Delta 46-201 wood lathe in her garage.

She wants to park her car.

Though this lathe is cast Iron, on a enclosed stand and

looks to be circa late 60s. I think it has about 2 hours of use.

Here is the problem, I don't need it, well thats not true either.

I could always use it. But Father Bob (who can't remember to post here)

thinks it a bargain at a little over two hundred.

So a little feed back , such as run don't walk in

either direction you moron would be most appreciated.

The Rockwell stuff was generally pretty good. $200 for a cast iron spindle lathe is not a horrible deal at all...

If you've got the room to store it..... GRAB IT! How come deals like this are never around my neighborhood? :confused:

I have one and it is a great lathe. I would run myself if I needed/wanted one.

Hi Per,

According to the completed auctions over at the unmentionable auction site this seems to be a decent price.
