Hercus 9" (Model A) Lathe - Ballarat Area
Hi all,
Not your average listing, but seeing if anyone wants to take this classic lathe off-my-hands.
Backstory:
- Bought this lathe in 2019 from a deceased estate sale (for $1200), was perfectly operational just covered in the usual years of dirt and chips.
- Used it for a few months, but then moved to the city for work, couldn't take it with me and had this stored at my grandad's place.
- Grandad offered to service it for me, which he started but sadly he never got it finished with his old age (his mind was going).
- Therefore this is being sold as an unfinished project. Everything is still there, just needs a tune-up/adjustments by someone with the knowledge and/or time (I sadly have neither).
Condition:
- Pretty decent, not a show-piece but it's all there.
Price:
- Consider it's need for a tune-up, I'm happy to take a haircut and let it go for $800.
Or alternatively, if anyone knows someone in the Ballarat area that services these, let me know. Regardless I just want this thing up-and-running, and/or in the right hands.
More than happy for interested buyers to view before buying, granted I'm driving from Melbourne to facilitate, so please serious inquiries only.
Thanks all.
