    Are you looking for one close to home, or anywhere in this great country.
    If it's close to home, it would help IF we knew where you're located!!!!!!!!
    To grow old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

    How big a lathe are you thinking?
    I will be selling my CVA/adapted centre lathe shortly (no thread cutting, intended to fit an ELS one day....). About to take some photos. It's got a centre height of 4" and about 15" between centres..... EXTREMELY heavy old toolroom turret machine, now with saddle and tailstock instead. Will need some TLC, but I'm using it regularly.
    I'm near Bendigo.
    Cheers, Joe
    retired - less energy, more time to contemplate projects and more shed time....

    Yes it does but there are still quite a few hours driving from Mildura to Wilsons Prom, and then there is the return trip. Some specs of the lathe you want would help also, bed length, centre height, and what sort of work you want it for, – repetition work might mean a turret lathe like a Ward, or perhaps a hydraulic tracer unit might be useful. The more info you give the more help you will likely get from the members here.
