Price differs so much by area, so qualify any commnets by that. In this
area, that would be on the high end of value. I'd look at it first. A
totally cherry machine, inside, is allways a good buy. The price is soon
forgot, the quality lingers. If your dad has run a lathe he knows not to be
fooled by a nice paint job.

Kinda pricey, i have the same lathe and only paid $900.00 for mine
and it came with more tooling. I think i saw the same machine on ebay a few
weeks
back, sounds like the guy has a dead line to move it, call him and offer
$1000 for
the lathe. $2500 is very high for a 40 year old machine, you can buy a new
import
equalivant for $1800.00 from harbor frieght.

Best Regards

I notice it has the bracket for a taper attachment, but no mention of
the attachment.

That is a very high price for that machine in almost any part of the
country. Logans are great machines, and that one looks cherry. But for
that money it should be like new with all conceivable tooling -
including the rest of that taper attachment.

Nice looking machine, Logan is a good brand, well tooled, pretty pricey.

The imported machines don't appear to be "equivalent" at all in
quality, even if they have a lot of features. If you want a
toolroom quality lathe, you're better off with a well cared for
40 year old US machine.

Why not buy Leighs Heavy 10 for a hell of a lot less?

I didn't realize Sobel had an ebay store. He needs better pictures and more
of them.

He's had that UID for year actually, he just never sold much that
way, being a technophobe. His son Peter always helped him out.
