Enco 9" x 18" Metal Lathe - $300 (Yucca Valley, CA)

Looks like a Taiwan copy of a Emco-Maier compact 8. Is that lower lever on the apron a power crossfeed? That would be a nice bonus since the original didn't have that feature

I have the same lathe, got it for the same price but mine came with a factory stand.
Same as the Grizzly and Jet 9x19 / 9x20 lathes, in fact I replaced some missing parts on mine with parts I ordered from Grizzly. They they are a modified copy of the Emco Compact 8, and they do have a power cross feed. They have their issues (mostly rigidity) but really not a bad lathe for the size. The current version, and the one I have has a 1/2 QCGB, which this doesn't have, so probably a little older than the one I have.

Ad is gone, looks like somebody got a good deal, these are about $1500 new from Grizzly.
