[Newbie] Doall 15 Lathe

Yep, looks like a Harrison that is re-badged DoALL. Might check out Vintage Machinery website and see if a manual is available for a small donation. Definitely needs a good bath with some Simple Green. With all of the labels missing from the levers on the QCGB, one would think someone has been into the gear box.
 
Some lead screws have a shear pin near the gear box ? If it's sheared it will just not move , or there is another cut out or something on the lathe. I too would jump on it for the money . There's a very old lathe near me I'd get if I were able to get the room in my garage it's about the same size . Little bit of clean up and paint and it'll look like new.
 
All dirt does is hold the price down!
It may have caused some wear if it was used much while dirty, but it may be that he just never used it. I would be very interested.

I do think it will clean up fairly easy. The room this lathe is setup in is where a rubber hose cutting operation is setup. A lot of that dirt is a black rubber dust which did seem to wipe off kind of easy. There were spots where oily surfaces are exposed so they may take a bit more, but I agree it ought to clean up good.

Well the fellow sent a video of the DoAll working. Looking good. Hope to get it later this week or the weekend. I will try to post the video. Well it isn't allowing me to download the video. It's a mov file from a cell phone and on my computer it is a GP file type. I'll have to do some research. But anyway it runs :excitement: :).
 
Well we went to the shop where the lathe was to disconnect the power and gather up the tooling. We did that and since the truck and trailer and forklift was available we decided to bring it home. I don't have any pictures of that process but I have a few of the final results of today's work. I want to thank everybody for your advice and words of encouragement.

Congratulation, that is a nice looking lathe plus tooling; especially for the price.
