A new lathe, not the Warco, the one sat on the headstock. Cleaning is in progress and should be finished tomorrow.

I’ll get some good pictures later when it’s cleaned up and back together, also some sizes. Not sure what the centre height, swing or distance between centres is yet.

You need a third one. Whether it sits above the new one or below the Warco is up to you.

Oh, I already have the 3rd one and it sits between the Warco and the Wakefield. Trouble is I don’t have the room to keep it anymore and it’s just in the way, so soon to be coming to a sales thread near you.

Yesterday I was given some bits to keep my mind in one place.



A decent stove, needs some works, as it is only part time.
Sometimes it works well others it is bloody dangerous.



A PSU, this plan A to repair my failed one, but this one had issues.
Oh well, it was fun to look at fixing it.
There was a few components floating around the inside.






This is dead, I know the motor is shot, but was the switch I was after.



Plus this.
No idea what it future is.

"Barn find"


Is it "rare, vintage" as well?

It's not overly rare, but early 90's so it's getting vintage. But definitely a barn find.
Farmer had parked it up as scared the sheep off and been using it as a work bench since.

mid 1950's 2nd hand and new machine tool brochures, I got theses at the end of February and thought @spencer 427 might be interested in them. I then decided to have the local industrial museum first refusal as a fair few of the machines were made locally. They dont want these as they dont have the space for them ( which is what I thought they may say), anyway here are a few pages from them as others might be interested to have a look too.

I haven't seen @spencer 427 online recently, so if anyone has contact with him, if he wants them and he sends me his address in a message I'll post them on to him.

I’ll drop him an text message

 

[Brad93]

Spencer is having a break from the internet for a while by the sounds of it

 

[Brad93]

I’d be interested in them though and if he wants them down the line he can

 

[optima21]

thanks for that Brad.

 

[optima21]

well thats easy then, if he doesn't want them, send me a pm with your address on and I'll post them to you instead.

<Snip: museum no space for books>

Thats a shame, because i have a box full i was going to take over (since just before covid).

I'll have to offer them on here, i suppose.

the museum I'm talking about is Calderdale Industrial museum, if you're in Leeds they have a huge storage facility so I'd still contact them. I have got some brochures from local companies that they will take though. the ones Ive posted here are too generic so would be taking up valuable space.
