it has been sitting in the back building for 10 years

Looks great! Gotta love a hobby that requires forklifts just to move the toys around.

That is some serious iron you got there!

Thanks for the pictures.

Nice looking Machine and I guess the price was right.

There's one of those still for sale where I found the Victoria U2. Smooth-running lathe.

the ways have some wear close to the headstock, and the bushing for the lead screw need to be replaced.
it should be good enough for the work we do around the house
if I need anything more accurate I can take it in to work .
