    If I was willing to wait I would cruise Crown assets and school disposal.

    If I wanted instant gratification I would head straight for Busy Bee.....hopefully buying a model that happened to be on sale. You can't beat sheer mass when it comes to engine lathes and the Chinese use lots of cast iron.

    Just wait...It moves around from spot to spot depending on who is closing or moving or revamping....Everything will come out of BC for awhile then suddenly the NRC will offload skids of X

    Craziest thing I've ever seen is a pair of functional 4 wheelers for under $100

    but...
    Like any auction I have seen a $400 king drop saw sell for $600

    That is a beautiful little machine. And a great restoration job too.
