What the heck is this?

[TomKro]

Had to ask someone...

Been trolling local Craigslist for equipment sales...

Advertised as a lathe - but is this some sort of horizontal mill?

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/tls/4176783344.

Does anyone know anything about this machine?

Mainly just curious, sort of an odd looking thing.

Yep, I'm guessing Holstein.

Maybe I goofed up the link - Does this work?

The casting has a fancy nameplate with "A.R.5-E/ET".

Looks like a Elite tool and cutter grinder.

OldMachinist - Thanks a bunch - you definitely identified it.

I have no idea if it runs or not, and no relation to the seller - but maybe someone out there needs one.
It sure looks like it's priced to move it quick.

Thanks,
TomKro
