A sorry sight!

Once again on a trip into a container yard off Hyde Rd Manchester where two decent looking lathes.



A Colchester Master, top speed of 2500 rpm with three jaw and faceplate and a Harrison 17 inch swng long bed .



Also various other bits like large, and I mean large rotory tables.



All sat outside awaiting probable shipment to shores oveseas.



Just made me want to take them home but alas, space and money would never allow.

that's a late one.

Mind you, bigger lathes are not pricey, especially the older ones; mainly I suspect due to the effort and price of moving 'em.
