Le Blonde Lathe 1940 ish
Hi Guys,
I have a lathe, which used to belong to my grand farther it's about the size of a Colchester student. It's got a domestic powered motor fitted to it, however I think originally the lathe was powered by a 3 - phase motor. It's not in bad condition for its year comes with a 3-jaw chuck and I think may be a steady/ faceplate. It's got slight damage the lead screw support at the tail stock end but it's an easy job to make a new one. Any ideas what it could be worth in its current state or fully buffed up and restored and how I could sell it? I have used it myself a few times it's a good machine even by today's standards lots of work left in it I would say, after the small repair job. I think it would be nice to restore. Rich. |
