Re: Unimat 3 versions
I'm not sure there were any different versions of the U3. Maybe different accessories at different times, but I think the basic lathe never changed.

Re: Unimat Motor
Hi John, Since I have never posted a picture of the Unimat motor I have for sale, your comment is out of line, false and disparaging. Also, the motor I have is a U90 and ¡°not¡± a 290 as you state.

Re: Unimat Motor
Some have sold on EBay for $199.00 plus shipping here in the US. So the price is not out of line! If no takers I will just keep it. It has value as a collectible.
