If anyone has a lathe that they no longer need I would be interested in looking at it. I'm on the Gold Coast but will travel to Brisbane or Northern Rivers. I would love a Vicmarc VL150 or similar but I'm quite open to any reasonable lathe at the moment to get me started.

i have a teknatool nova TL1500 for sale $300 if interested.was going to chop it up for parts for my bowl lathe but its too good for that ......bob

Bob, as tempting as it is to go for a full size lathe, unfortunately I have stick to a midi for now as space in the garage is limited with my tools, machines and the wife's car all vying for floor space.
