Scored a Aloris BXA 19 in excellent mechanical condition on ebay.
A little surface rust here and there, and dried grease. I'd be surprised if it was used more than a few times, as the blueing was barely worn on the axle pins.
A quick disassembly, a few minutes in the blast cabinet ( with melamine plastic media ), and wipe down with oil; cleaned up nicely.
Good as new, and half the price of a new one. Built like a tank. Weighs almost 6 pounds! Test knurl will have to wait, as the lathe is set up for something else at the moment.
