Runs Great!

I can't think of a more meaningless description for a lathe. Completely worn out and clapped out but the spindle turns just fine, therefore it runs great!

I hear similar stories about vehicles as well!

The Hydrostream in my avitar runs great, but the boat needs a transom.

I saw a Craigslist add last week for a clapped out machine. Said, condition-excellent ????
It's pretty meaningless.

Just like “it ran good before we put it in storage”, huh?

When I was looking for a milling machine, every clapped out, worn out, rusted fast, and just plain broke mill I looked out was described as "run great".

It seems to be the machine equivalent to “ only driven to church on Sunday”.

Some people just don't know, and some are sharks. I could never sell anything without full disclosure. It's just not worth it to me.

I played around with tractors for a long time.
The saying there was "ran when parked".
