Hi,
I thought I'd share my latest spur of the moment purchase. I was having a look on Gumtree last night and noticed a Sheraton 9" for sale, the seller also had a TNC mini lathe for a reasonable price.

That's his other lathe. Long story short, went out and bought the little TNC. I also have a Super Adept of English build to match.
First thing I noticed was the headstock has been removed and replaced with a homemade affair. I guess the original headstock cracked, my Super Adept has a cracked headstock. Apparently its a common fault.
This is the UK lathes page for the TNC:

I fired it up this afternoon. Everything works but the AC motor smokes the first time you use it, its a share because its a nice looking old motor. There's also a home made handwheel on it.
Sorry about the quality of the photo's, one day I'll get a newer phone.
Ben.
