Had a massive road trip in the truck this week to pick up the CVA 10 x 30 lathe. What a beauty and in excellent condition. After much negotiation also brought home a Schaublin 120VM lathe. This was in the same area and I had been talking to the owner for a little while. He brought it from a railway engineering toolroom a decade ago and it had sat in the corner of his engineering business ever since and never been used. He was always worried he might damage it as he didn't have a manual and wasn't sure how everything worked. He eventually decided to sell it and let me know he was going to put it on ebay. Obviously it didn't stay there long as I made him an offer he was happy to accept.
Now it appears to be in reasonable condition but very dirty from sitting in the corner uncovered for many years. Ways look good with little backlash in slides. Variable speed drive and power feeds all seem to work OK. Came with ?a full collection of change gears, 3 and 4 jaw chucks and both steadies but no collets. Have only just unloaded the two lathes so no other info or pictures yet.
On my way to Sydney for the Qantas inspection day and pictures next week.
Any one else have a similar lathe or any info on this model. Have managed to get a manual in German so far.
