What Is This Lathe Worth!?

Its an A.R. Williams brand I've never heard of them? The seller never posted up a price so maybe he'd let it go for cheap? Just don't know which lathe to make an offer on now :s
 
Aaahhhhh gotcha! I'm kind of leaning towards this one that just popped up, which would you say is the better machine?

I only shop for North American iron so it is a one sided argument.
So far both of the lathes you mention "could" work.
I would look for a different lathe to do the job you mention.
I would buy the SBL for parts/investment.

A little big perhaps......

I just got a chance to look at the busy bee lathe and its alot smaller In person than I thought the bidding on that one has peaked off at 375 I think 400 would take it but that's my budget for the machine so I might just have get the south bend lathe instead if its the right price that is :p
 
Hey Izzy: Here is an interesting offer down your way:

Yesterday i saw a Myford ML7 go for less than $400.
 
@LucknowKen Man you guys up in Lucknow have all the good deals! I have a few buddies in the locknox/Goderich area and they always find the most amazing deals! I have my kijiji search set to all of Ontario so I don't know why I haven't seen that one yet! Thanks for the link tho!
 
I looked it up and with the stand that machine sold for over $2000 at Busy Bee. Gear head lathe 10"x 18" Quick change gearbox.

It's a bit small but they come well recommended. If I could get it for less than $800 I would consider myself a lucky fella; especially with tooling.
Good luck.
Jon.
