Anyone fancy an old lathe? £50 cash, but you have to come and pick it up. I am located in N Yorkshire half way between York and Malton. I'm having a bit of a tidy up and this has to go. Pictures are in my album
here.I bought it for it's change gears so please note there are NO change gears included in the sale, and that also applies to the ones shown in the photos. You can pick them up on e bay from time to time - 1/4" pitch is the required size. All the rest that I got is included.
There is a countershaft plus pulley set but no motor. The lathe has just been loosely assembled to keep it all together, but I have not attempted to align the headstock. It has had a "life well lived" - you are not going to hold tolerances to a tenth of a thou but it might make a good project for an apprentice to practice or as an antique curiosity. I don't really want to scrap it as its a nice looking old thing with a handsome brass gear change setting plate. Currently grey but looks like it may have originally been bottle green. There's a 3 jaw chuck (only 1 set of jaws) also an old 4 jaw chuck included.
Details - make unknown but possibly a Brittania, date approx. 1890-1900.

gap will allow material upto 19" diameter and gap width is about 5".
