Just ran across this lathe. Wondering if it's worth buying seller doesnt say much about its condition but it looks pretty old.

I spoke to him and he said when he unpluged it and put it in his van in the parking lot it worked fine. He did tell me that is the 12th lathe Porper made. Dave

Do you feel its worth it. Its definitely old if its the 12 one porper made.

I guess it is. I did not go look at it I just talked to him on the phone. Sort of decided that I want a newer machine. Thinking about going with a Custom Cue Lathe.
