    old metal lathe.. very nice but fiddly and expensive, I think they're more of a collecters thing now days.

    not that I wouldn't want one :drool:

    Although not made for over 20 years, the ML7 is a quality lathe and much sought after as a working machine.
    I would love to be able to afford a Myford of any age!

    The OP is dated 2006, so I doubt it is still for sale, don't know what it was doing Wood turning anyway, but there you go.

    Amazing how some threads are dragged kicking and screaming in to the present (and perhaps would have been better left in peace).
