Small metal Lathes / IE 350 to 50W machines

The first two were jokes anyway. Couldnnt belive they seriously wanted money for them. Second one looks like a converted clothes mangle.

Bit harsh there Dudz. Second one is more like an instrument lathe, used by e.g. clockmakers etc for small precision parts. Almost always used with collets rather than chucks. Not familiar with the name Jenny but it looks like it might once have been a decent machine, and the collet closer (to the left of the headstock) might be worth a bit to someone as a spare. Seems to be also missing a countershaft to go between motor and the flat pulley headstock. Anyway, it's not the type of thing you want.

First one is probably a second operation lathe - very short bed. Looks solid as a solid thing, but very old. Worth something maybe to the right buyer (not you IMO) but not a lot.

I have just been offered a lathe in exchange for my bike. I Kid you not, this is the lathe he is offering !

I think maybe a little to large for my projects.
