Groovers, last month I acquired an old 3 phase welder from a family friend and while moving it I noticed this older Harrison l5 metal lathe there as well. Time past and I contacted him about the lathe, we agreed on a price and home she came via a tandem trailer and some head scratching and now she sits very firmly on the floor of my shed. The lathe came with both steadies, a Belco 4 jaw 8 inch independent chuck and a Rohm 3 jaw 6 inch.
As you can see the lathe was quite dirty as the protective oil coating had joined with dust to form a layer of scum. I am fairly sure that the 4 jaw has never been on the lathe.
You can see from the pictures that the cabinet door is off as the previous owner lost the key and ground off the hinges. I can live with that for the price I paid.
I removed the top cover to have a squizz at the gears and it looks rather good to me.
Almost forgot to say the price..........$300
