What is reasonable asking price for a 1961 heavy 10
|
My son picked up a Southbend Heavy 10 serial number 12446RKL16. Near as I can tell it is a 1961 Heavy 10. It has the lever action collet closer on the head stock, taper attachment, and an aftermarket quick change tool post with a few tool holders. It has both a 3 and a 4 jaw chuck and a faceplate and a drive plate. On lathe dog and a handful of 5c collets. It appears to have a 3 phase motor. It’s on an original south bend cabinet. It does have original lantern tool post or at least parts of it.
Previous owner had stripped it all down and primed the lathe but not painted it. I’m still in process of cleaning it up a bit after sitting in my unheated shop this past winter. Located in central Virginia. I haven’t really been paying attention to prices for a while. I know the one answer being whatever a buyer is willing to pay but that doesn’t really help set a fair asking price. He needs to partially fund a newer heavier lathe that is more in line with what he needs for his job shop. He’s holding my SouthBend Fourteen hostage ?until he gets something else. Sincerely Mark R.

that knows about these machine would ask about . As far as a price , I'd spend some time on FB & CL for yer area to get some sort of idea of its value . That 3 phase motor may be a deal breaker for alot of buyers . What other tooling does it have ? Chucks ? animal On 3/11/24 2:09 PM, Mark R. Jonkman wrote:

"Previous owner had stripped it all down and primed the lathe but not painted it." The details there are going to make a *huge* difference.? Is it disassembled? Was it stripped and primed without taking it apart? Was it assembled?after priming, but needs taken apart and painted again? Are the machined surfaces/bolt holes masked still? etc... Let's assume it's painted, assembled, and can be demonstrated working without significant wear (E.g. you can turn a ~6" bar to within a few tenths pretty much "as-is"). If it has a quick-change gear box, then you'd probably be able to get $2000-$3000 in the Pacific Northwest, if you're somewhat patient. You'll have to adjust for your location.? At $1500 it would probably sell in a day out here. If it does *not* have the gearbox, then $1500-$2k, but might take a few weeks to find a buyer. If it's in need of a complete?overhaul to get it actually painted properly, then you should probably do that before you consider selling it. --Rogan On Mon, Mar 11, 2024 at 2:10?PM Mark R.

judging by the ways it has low to modest wear.? had to dig out the lathe from behind my siding brake to get at it from the front.? I’ll probably throw it on marketplace for $2500 and see if I get any action. |
