Hello From Ohio

I found these on ebay,

The only brand ive seen before is Clausing, The second Leblond says untested so could be a gem, could be a loss cause.

I really love the looks of the Warner-Swasey but don't understand what a turret lathe is.

Thank you guys in advance for taking the time to look

There is a video on the Warner Swasey and it has aton of power feed, long. cross, tailstock, but i dont understand the turret tailstock
 
I wish that 10ee wasn't 2000 miles from me. If it was on the west coast I would be dragging it home.
 
I do worry that parts to fix/refurb would be :hard to find, expensive, both lol
 
There are two 10ee's about 60 miles from me, they want $7500 for the pair. Unknown condition. I'm thinking about getting them, referbing one and flipping it, that would pay for both. But I really need to get some other projects out of my shop first.:)
 
so a little reserch looks like the turret lathe is just a way to hold multiple tools and has a bit more automation, kinda like a manual CNC for improved time/repeat-ability.

This seems awesome, but im a newb

Be aware, Jim, that some (possibly earlier) 10ee's had pre-solid state electronic drives, the one my employer bought had to have solid state drive installed. This was in 1985 or so.

That's an easy fix. It's pretty simple to replace the old thyratron tubes with SCRs if needed. I actually have some experience with old MG sets.:)
