manual machines at auction?

I'd add purplewave to your list of online auction houses to visit esp for your area. OFten have college/university equipment for sale (bought a 1600 ram radial walker turner for 400 ish) i iirc). they sometimes have shapers (shaaaapppperrrzzzz!!!!), and everyone likes those!

Thanks for that one. I wound up buying a basket case bridgeport from a middleman who didn't want to deal with it. My father and I will still be looking for a good smaller lathe sometime soon. 14x40 up to six foot long or so. I'll be scoping all these good places and hope people keep right on chiming in.
 
Hi and Thx you folks for some very nice info on auctions-sites and it was nice to see it.

But the bitter truth is that it's almost impossible for me to do anything about it... but nice to read about it.

This is where I found my Colchester Chipmaster.
