Re: OT big lathe in Texas

 

Absolutely location matters.? In southern NM, you won't find much of anything without patience and luck.? I bought my 11" Sheldon and South Bend vertical mill from NMSU surplus property auctions after looking for years at the sparse listings.? Ironically, I bought my 8" Logan shaper from a guy who lives in Las Cruces years after I moved to San ANtonio.? He just happened to list it in the shapers group right before I was going back to visit parents for Thanksgiving.

Here in San Antonio, I bought my Series 1 2J2 from a place literally on the corner 1/8mi from my office.? It was sitting on their loading dock and I finally made the effort to call them.

OTOH, this is an 18" lathe, which are far less common than a 9-11" most of us have.

I guess it depends on where one lives, here in Metro Detroit it is unlikely to sell for more that its scrap value.? ? Even in a machine tool desert, $3500 seems quite high.
