Selling my 1887 Barnes Rockford Lathe, if anyone is interested?
Originally a Treadle lathe, missing its main treadle wheel and foot pedals, but complete with bolt on cast iron legs, loads of gears, spare chuck,
tool post, drill end post, loads of bits, will never get time to set it up, can supply a 240V motor with it, just needs a new home with someone
dedicated to setting it up. Contact me for price. Will fit into a small hatchback.
The picture is pretty much what mine is, minus the large wheel and pedal
I would say ideal as a project, maybe ideal for model makers, small chucks etc.
£100 would take it.
Sold to a collector tonight, great price paid £600, clearly he knew what he was looking for to offer 4 times my asking price....
Happy Birthday !!!
