I wonder if someone like Richard King would be interested???

Might be a tad heavy to drag around to his classes.

not only lathes, anything with ways. I'm not even sure there are that many machines like that left anywhere. Wouldn't make more sense if it was more like a timeshare? You'd bring your lathe/mill/shaper/planer to where the thing was set up and some kind of resident caretaker/operator would help you set it up and how to operate. Set it up centrally in the Midwest. This is going to be criminal if that thing goes to the scrapper.

Like a maker place, but for restorers. That would e worth disassembling the lathe, and using a vacation week.

Man, I wish something like that existed. The local maker space is more wood, cnc router and electronics oriented. There is a HUGE maker space in SO CAL that could house that. It would be worth getting a month membership to be able to have access to that machine.
