Is this lathe worth getting / restoring
Hey all... first of all ill say im a beginner machinist, only have a small hobby lathe at the moment
There is this old Nuttall lathe at work which has sat in the corner and never been used since I been there... Im pretty sure the motor is shot..
Im just wondering if anyone knows any info on these lathes? Were they good lathes back in the day?
What would something like this be worth today? (ill have to make an offer to my boss)
Is there anything I should look out for that would make this junk and not worth touching?
A brief inspection of the ways and there is no obvious damage, the handwheels turn fairly smoothly. I think the motor is dead but that shouldnt be too hard to replace?
