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. Leigh@Marmachine |

Doug,
LeBlond Lathes are Cadillacs, like Lodge & Shipley. They are sooo much better than the competition, you should not hesitate. Steve "doug" wrote in message oups.com...
