I brought one of each home.
The rust on the lathe is surface rust.

Paul I'm Rustoleum grey with envy 
Did you bid on more than one of the lathes or just concentrate on the one? What was your bidding strategy?

You're welcome.
I wanna know if the Anilam DRO works! Curious here.
Can't wait to see picts of your restoration. Get plenty of 'before' picts if you can. I'm curious as to the level of rust on them.

I live very near a large navy yard, and yes, what they pour in the surplus yard can make you cry. But I have also gotten some screaming deals out of there.... pre internet auctions. Not so much any more.
