He's a nice guy, but take a careful look at what you're buying to make
sure you understand what works and what doesn't.

I'm friendly with a local dealer who has 3 Clausing 63xx lathes that
altogether would fit your bill: all are missing something and the
variable speed drives have been replaced with step pulleys. I passed
on trying to make one good one out of the three. They're in Southern
NH
at Risons.com.

Caveat Emptor: I *do* have an interest here as the price on the
Rockwell lathe I got there is still to be determined, so helping him
move these should be to my benefit. Besides, Bob is as nice a guy as
any you'll meet.
