price is way too high but then again they might get lucky
union graduate
an interesting looking lathe and if that one got little use it might be good for a lot more turning
like what they call a barn find in the car collector culture
They last forever. What you see is a mass of cast iron with the option of replacing the long for a short bed for bowl turning. The only short-coming is that you have to be of average height to have your elbow at centre level.
maybe i looked at it too fast thought i saw a facility for outboard turning
I think you both may be right. Looking at the picture of the Union Graduat e, it appears you can change/bolt on a new/different bed extension. Thus m aking it short or long bed normal lathe. AND you have the outboard too. N ot sure if the outboard is changeable or not for length.
Don't know but most new born babies come out looking pretty wrinkly too - and frequently short of hair.
