Another Hercus 9" on Ebay

[Big Shed]

Another 9" Hercus lathe (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280245993378&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=018) listed on Ebay.

Looks like a fairly early model with the spanner release tail stock etc.

One wonders why the rear guard is green, and the head stock covers are blue.

Still, you can't judge a book by it's cover.

Looks like mine. It's been listed a few times because it's too dear. lathes have been dropping lately. In previous years A's ahve been getting about $950 - 1050 but lately they have been getting lower maximum bids.

Ebay generally has been patchy for the last 3 months. I think the interest rates/petrol/sentiment is biting. Triton prices are a bit down, lots of stuff.
