Really happy I asked . Once I was situated I started looking and have not found many machines posted near by.
See ? I told ya so !You hit it on the head, just found another listing for $2500
Wow. Probbably
Yea. Definitely going to walk away from it . Thank you all for the replies. Going to continue looking . Actually found another post https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/tls/d/silver-creek-south-bend-metal-lathe-1931/7429482098.html that looks more promising but further away.. about a three hour drive.Be really cautious with machines that cannot be tested under power. The fresh paint job can also be hiding issues. I would walk away from it unless it was priced for having a fresh paint job, which lowers the value, and unable to run under power, which is in my opinion a big red flag. The asking price is way too high as is, in my opinion.
That one doesn't have a Quick Change Gearbox, make sure it has all the change gears.Wow. Probbably

I have no secrets, just searching with Searchtempest.com every day. I use a 250 mile radius figuring that works out to a full day round trip.@MrWhoopee always spots the deals out your way . Maybe he could help you out .
I check them out when you put them up , just to follow along . The west coast has some pretty good deals out there it seems . Seems the northeast coast is all big bucks these days while the south east has much to offer also .I have no secrets, just searching with Searchtempest.com every day.
