Anybody have or use LEBLOND 15" X 30" lathe

There is one available for under 2K and i am considering buying it.


Do you know the model and age? My pre WW2 Leblond with babbit bearing and
top speed of 600 was good for its time. Not worth much today. OTOH a Servo
Shift is one EXCELLENT machine. In general all the newer Leblonds are fine
machine tools.
