Is the Servo-Shift a good reason to stay away from a 1969 Leblond?
 

Are parts available for the servo-shift? At a reasonable price? Is
the added complexity and potential repair cost of the servo-shift a
good reason to stay away from these lathes?

Thanks Doug

Servo-Shift is what makes the later LeBlonds so great. Jump all over it
if the price is rightt and it has the 2-3/16" spindle hole. I bought
one new and don't know of any 15" lathe I would trade it for.

Its a 14x30 with a 1.5" spindle.

This is the exact lathe I learned to machine with. Its one fine lathe.

Doug,
LeBlond Lathes are Cadillacs, like Lodge & Shipley. They are sooo much
better than the competition, you should not hesitate.
