I had no plans to go out on Sunday but I was doing my normal periodic Craigslist search for "lathe" and saw an ad for a garage sale and noticed this telescope contraption for sale. I went quickly and the guy didn't know what it really was. Paid $50. All gummed up with paint so will need to be pulled apart and stripped. Can't find any obvious maker marks. Chuck is a 4 inch Union 3 jaw. On the way home I decided to stop by a junk shop for a 1/2" allen wrench ($1) and saw a small Starrett level (#130) and paid $20. Not a bad day!
