Lathe

[nicktrex]

Just bumping this back up, budget can be upped to about £2000 if necessary

How desperate are you? I am in the process of upgrading my lathe to a larger one and will then be selling my Triumph 2000 which I have owned for 15 years. It is in original condition (not painted) but the paint is chipped/worn. Mechanically it is very good with a perfect clutch (expensive to replace/fix), a quiet headstock, and it has turned most of the parts for my Fowler rebuild. 50" bc, fixed and travelling steadies, 3 jaw chuck. I was intending to sell for around £1500.
I hope to be in a position to sell it by the end of June.
Cheers Carl.

Hi Carl

That sounds perfect! I've made this thread on behalf of a machinist I know and will ask him whether he can hold on for another month or so, I imagine he will.

Thanks

Nick
