I picked up a lathe on Saturday, she is an old one but good enough for the sort of uses I will have for it.
Cost me a carton of Rum & Cola, and I also bought a carton of XXXX Gold for teh boys in the workshop.




Its a Colchester Master model, 6.5 inch, I think it is a "series one" model that dates it to 1955/1969.
A few companies in the UK list all parts are available.
Once I find the serial number I should be able to figure out a little more about it.
3 phase and was working when moved outside.
