I don't, but it's an edu location, and prone to stupid student crashes.

I saw it. It looks typically abused for the UCF physics/mech.eng. group.
After they don't like something anymore, they park it out in the hot
Florida rain for a couple of years before trying to sell it.

I've bought stuff from them before.

It looks worse that the lathes whe had in high school, in the '60s.
Old navy surplus with 20 layers of gray paint where it was painted (with
a brush) between each school year. They were W.W.II US Navy surplus.
and I don't remember seeing a name on them.

It looks cosmetically better than mine. I have a 2527VH (with a 2-1/4
x 8 threaded spindle). I'd be tempted to get it if I was closer.

Knowing what they _finally_ let go at UCF (I'm an alumnus), I'd say, find
another source. It was likely pretty worn out before they put it in the
rain for five years.

You're probably right, but I'm always tempted to squirrel away spare
parts for things I use.

Hmm ... if it is a L-00, then ...

Never mind -- what at first glance looked like a thin 3-jaw
chuck or faceplate (in the end cabinet) appears to actually be a large
5C pot collet. So L-00 is pretty likely after all.

Looks like a nice machine. The only thing I dislike about it is
that the threading does not include 27 TPI (which I need from time to
time, and which my Clausing has.)

Enjoy,
DoN.

Those are indeed good, solid and well made lathes. I run across them
from time to time in the corners of shops, still making parts, long
after the shop has converted to CNC
