Hi everyone..

My name is Adam and I'm new around here. I have just purchased a Purcell New Visby lathe online.. partly because I love tinkering, and restoring a lathe sounds like it could be fun albeit slightly challenging, and partly because the cheap taiwanese lathe that I had in my garage has gone back to its owner!

The most immediate issue I have will be moving it across Sydney.. With this in mind, I was wondering if anyone either knows the over all dimensions including gross weight or could point me in the right direction to find them online? I have looked at Purcell Lathes, Visby, New Visby, Conemaster & Record lathes but it lacked the info that I am after..

Also given that it is probably bigger and heavier than I am assuming, does anyone have any suggestions regarding transporting it from Seven Hills to Mascot in Sydney? Would it be worth my while engaging professional movers or is it relatively simple to put it on a flat bed trailer? Sorry if this is a silly question.
