Found this opportunity that I thought I'd pass along. TWO of these lathes are up for auction in CA, and the auction ends at 6:30 CT TODAY. Current price is $1,000. Used 2007 Clark 14x40 with DRO, 1.5" bore, and QC tool post. Additional info can be found here in an eBay listing for a similar lathe.

If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll tell you how you can find them to bid.

wow now thats a lathe!

can you imagine getting that for only 1000!!:grin:

Believe me, it's killing me not to be able to pull the trigger myself. :banghead: but then I'd have to deal with the whole divorce thing, and . . . well, you know . . .

Been there done that and it was only the best thing I ever did. Divorce that is! All it cost me was a 69 Shelby Mustang convertible. Damm I miss that car!
I would love to put that lathe in my shop, but somehow I think divorce #2 would be more expensive.
Thanks for posting. Hopefully someone with a understanding wife will get it!

Wow, if something like that came up 2 hrs from my house, there'd be no question about it. Unfortunately this is about a 20 hr drive with no stops.
 
Can you deliver it to Texas?

lol.. I was kidding. The logistics, although I have the time and means, would probably not allow. Hmmn:

Gas for 1500 round trip=250.00
3 stays in Motel=150.00.....I am NOT sleeping in my truck.....again!!! I once drove a boat 70 hours in 3 days and didn't sleep(ONLY CAFFEINE), but like to keep the stints to 10 hours for safety.
food=60.00
Now we are at almost 500 and nothing for my time which, believe it or not, is worth something....
There would almost certainly have to be a surcharge for being forced to enter the State of Texas too! lol

I was kidding too, but I'd sure like to get my hands on that lathe.
 
Wow, both lathes were bought by the same person for $1250 each. A Bridgeport vertical mill also sold for $750. Someone just had a good day!
