I've got to agree. That'll make for a nice addition to the shop.

About the rebadging? The model is a completely different one, isn't it?

I was recently talking to a business owner who does large turnings.. he let out that he was upgrading his lathes but when pressed he admitted that he would scrap the old ones before selling them.. his reasoning being that he didn't need them getting into the hands of the competition.
I was calling him on my employers behalf so had to hold back on calling him names.
I hadn't thought about it much before but it might explain why we see so few good pattern makers lathes around for sale when they really are as common as mud and constantly being retired.
One day.. right time, right place.. mmmmm... hope its a Wadkin.
