SERIOUSLY COOL MICRO LATHE

I have a few of them. To me, they are for display only. Mechanically, they are just a tad above being a toy (and I’m just trying to be nice!). But, they sure are cute to look at!!!!!!

A FEW OF THEM?!? Damn you! *jealous
 
Now that we are talking about cute lathes, this($950) Swiss made watchmakers lathe has been for sale for months and no takers, how could that be I wonder:

I think because it is a watch makers lathe and you have to be good at or enjoy working with a graver, rather than the cross slide of a machine lathe.

It is a sweet looking lathe but appears more fragile or less robust than the Boley or similar lathes.
 
Yeah but according to the Bugs Bunny cartoons, you have to start with a freshly felled log to make one toothpick. Can you chuck that log in this?? :)
 
Rimspoke and RJSakowski,
I have a Duo Lathe, by Small Machines Inc., buy it has no motor.
Could you please take some photos and dimensions of yours so I know what to look for in a replacement?
You can send them to me off-line at: ziegedw@gmail.com.
Thank you in advance,
Dean Z.
