icked up a small power brake today, other machines in shop.
 

I stopped by a company getting rid of old machines, he had some lathes 14"
the smallest, the 14"/20" gap bed lathe is a clover looked well used but a
solid machine not sure what he would take. He has a well used bridgeport j
head that if he gets $200 he might bite. Some real big old welders, all 3
phase 400 amp or so mig and an old P&G tig. A few other larger lathes all
going for scrap rate. He is in Norwalk Connecticut, his add was on craigs
list.

He gave me a 18" power brake, not to big but it must be about 800 pounds,
not even sure why I brought it home but I spent some time going there and
the gas was burned so I had to come home with something. It will need one
gear but its a standard boston gear, not to bad to get at to fix.
I will post pictures to my late tonight.
