Saw an ad in th' local (Shelton, WA) paper for an Enco 9"x20" bench
top lathe very reasonably priced. Actually, it's a steal. Went and
checked it out this am. Retired guy bought it new three years ago,
and about $1k worth of tooling, to build model steam engines. Wasn't
as easy or as much fun as anticipated so now he's into stained glass
stuff.

Saw it run, checked out th' tooling, and it's not a bad little lathe.
$500.00 for it, tooling, accesories, plus a horizontal metal
cutting bandsaw! Prolly at least $2,300.00 worth of equipment, damn
near all brandy new too.

If it were local to me, I'd be there.
And I don't need another lathe, much less a 9x20.
Still...

Tell me about it! Had to muster up every possible ounce of reason to
walk away from it yesterday. Heh, I was gonna take my ElCamino but
th' battery was dead, so I took th' car. If th' truck would've
started, that baby would be here right now g. Somebody's gonna get
a real nice deal.
