Hi all.... I really want to thank you for the well thought out
responses.

The owner told me twice that it was a logan.
I went to see it today , it is a South Bend...go figure.
Model B5 , Cat # 677R bed length 4.5
s/n 178456 B101 mark on bed . $1200
It does have a 3 and 4 jaw chuck, some dogs, all the gears, and new
paint,
but I think for that money I can do a lot better.
for instance there is a 13" X 30 Southbend on ebay now for $750
currently,
only problem its in Nashville.

Another is close in KC area is an elgin collet lathe with about 30
collets
the owner knows almost nothing about it . He thinks there is no power
feed
and I cant see from the pictures. auction # 7508201038. no bids at $50
with $400 BIN. cheap, close, but useful?


I forgot to state in my original post that Im in the Wichita, Ks area.
If any one knows of a good machine in the $1000 range , 220v max,
within say 500 miles of wichita please let me know.

thanks for your time
