Hang in there brother.
Kindest regards, DBN aka John

Good afternoon folks,
I was on the Yahoo South Bend group for many years, but I didn't transition over to the?.
A while back hopping that it might rekindle my interest in machining. I rejoined the South Bend and several other groups once on Yahoo.
Unfortunately it hasn't help me regain the "bug". I still machine something when I need a part made around the house or garage, but I don't want?
to make another engine or complex project. I've made 3 Stuart's, 10V, James Coombs, and Beam. Plus I got side tracked doing production jobs with three turret lathes.?
At 67 years old and declining health, it maybe time to get some of the remaining "big stuff" out of the
basement. and no it's not a walk out. I sold my Bridgeport, Hardinge HCT, Hardinge HLV, and one DSM-59, about five years ago. I still have one old (1951) DSM-59, It's going soon!
I have a nice South Bend 10K UMD (Daejung Korea, hard bed)?that I need to sell with lots of tooling. It will be in the Marketplace, if I can figure how to get it there. The 10K isn't as heavy as a HLV,
but two people can't carry it up steps in one piece. It has a NOS turret, never used, that is included. Why? use a SB turret with three Hardinge turret lathes, long story. Sorry 9 inch guys, fits the bed,
but too low to line up to the center line.
?
Anyway, I hate to join this group just to advertise, but I'd rather give someone here a chance before I put it on Graiglist, or that auction site. The old Yahoo group was?
good to me and even if all of those folks are gone, the new folks here I'm sure are just as nice.?I hope this thread does not violate any guidelines, thank you.
Regards Charley Holt.
