Well the market value is the lowest price you can get the seller to sign
it over for. As far as anything more accurate I'd try E-Bay, which
should give you a high end price.

thanks

I have an opportunity to obtain a pristine Lodge & Shipley Lathe, Model 1610
Power Turn, 18" x 54", it is 11 ft long, 5 ft deep, with taper attachment,
steady rest, follower rest, 2 speed tail stock, 12" 3 jaw chuck, 16" 4 jaw
chuck, 14" 4 jaw chuck, Jacobs chuck with collets, trans gears, tool post
grinder (external) and a slew of rocker tool posts and holders. This machine
was manufactured '69. Never used in a production environment, only in a
maintenance capacity in a print shop. The only fault on this machine is some
dings in the original paint! No rust and no wear anywhere! This machine
weighs 9,000 lbs and it has all the original paperwork and manuals. I know
the value of smaller machines, but with this I have no clue. Obviously, this
is not your garden variety home machine, but I do not intend to let this go.
This machine is equipped with a 10 HP 3ph motor and an English lead screw.
This lathe will cut from 1 TPI to 256 TPI .Please help with your best guess
of current market value.
Steve

With all the attachments and it being a "real" lathe that can do serious
work it should be worth at least 4000.00 for a serious buyer. Lodge and
Shipley were one of the better manufacturers of machinery.
