Are Clausing 5914's or similar machines readily avalible?

I am contemplating a move and was wondering about whether it would be
better to haul my lathe or sell it here and replace it in Portland.

Thanks,

Buying GOOD used American machinery is not what it used to be.

The lathe that you have...is it one that you are planning on
upgrading?

If so sell it.

But don't expect to replace it anytime soon....finding a good machine
at a good price takes time...sometimes lots of time.

I travel alot so I get around to lots of used dealers when I have time
to kill....the good stuff isn't out there any more.

Where did it go? Likely China.
