    That's sad. Fell on its face most likely.
    I have seen it happen due to incompetent handling when moving a lathe.

    How much of a fall would it take to crack the bed though?

    Who knows, but cast iron is brittle, and with a heavy headstock like that maybe just a fall off a pallet would do it.

    Of all the Hercus's they could have dropped! If it was a model C i wouldn't give a stuff, but not a geared head like that (not sure on the model?)
