Wroughton Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I have some antique lathes and lathe parts that have attached themselves to me. I need to do some more research before I put them in the Tailgating section. Lorch & Schmidt "LL", small Oliver metal lathe (the bed is about 26") and a transmission gearbox for belt drive and tailstock from a 13' or 14' Cincinnati lathe. 2 mini's and a giant. I think the Lorch is a clockmakers lathe. I can't find anything about the smaller Oliver metal lathe. Anyone have any thoughts or people to contact? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wroughton Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Thanks, Norsman, and Doc. I actually talked to Tony at Lathes.Uk about the Lorch. Haven't talked to him about the Oliver or the Cincinnati. He also wants $65 a listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
