his starting price was like the other link you sent $900.00 so way off the mark

AJ, Yeah I kinda came to the same conclusion as your self. Its a well made lathe but its no longer made.
I have a MC1100 or WL20 as Hare & Forbes call it. Nothing flash, but does the job. I have done a fair few mods to mine to get it to improve its performance.
I will be up grading to something more substantial in the future, as its a way off I have not made any decision on which make and model.
