I'm waiting to hear from Grizzly whether they still intend to ship my discontinued GO698, so naturally I went shopping on CL. Found this monster, described as:
"This is a very old, super solid, heavily-modified South Bend Lathe from the 20's or 30's. GE 200 line motor. Max volts: 600AC. Max amps: 18. Hendrie and Bolthoff plaque on the side. It can currently only be used with wood. In good condition. Please come by and take a look.
Measures 8 feet, 8 inches from inside motor to end.
2 feet, 11 inches high.
$525 "
Looks to me like it has risers installed.
Any thoughts?
