Hi all,
I thought I would join the forum after just picking up my first lathe, a Hercus 9A with serial number 6625. I believe its around 1958 (so its a couple of years senior to me!). $700 from Gumtree and in quite reasonable condition.
I served my apprenticeship as a turner at a lathe manufacturers in the UK during the seventies, so thankfully I have a little experience to help me get started up again after a 20year break from turning.
My first project will be renovating the Hercus over the coming months so I'm looking forward to reading past and future simialr threads from the forum.
All the best.
Regards Vince, Midland, Perth, WA
