Lathe is SOLD...Thanks for all the interest!!!!

I bought a Porper Model "A" 2nd hand locally, and have found I am not going to use it. When I purchased the machine the Tailstock would not travel freely, and some surface rust on some of the parts. After taking the machine apart and cleaning, it works and looks like new. I have included lots of pictures, but there is only one lockdown tool (Green) with the machine. I would like to sell the machine locally (Indiana) but I can disassemble it for shipment in 3 boxes if I need to. Price on the machine is $900 plus shipping, if I have to ship it. I can also deliver to Derby City Classic in January, if you are going to the tournament. If you want to convert this machine to the Model "B" should run you around $1500.

PM me with questions if you have any... Happy Holidays

Then I hate you and will do further no business with your company . . . :mad:

Ummm, unless she can "perform" on-site customer "support" for a few weeks. :p :D

Lathe

I just wanted to say that BilliardBum is a GREAT guy to deal with. He went to great extremes to take pictures as he disassembled the lathe so I could get it back together pretty easy ;-) He also didn't seem to mind answering a few questions ... Thanks a bunch!
