More info than you may care about:
The factory that made this lathe is MYSORE KIRLOSKAR LTD in INDIA. I did a modest internet search and the best I can guess, they went out of business in about 2006. So, there is not much doubt that you can't get parts for this beastie. We cleaned it up, replace the main power switch in the bad, and it runs good. I'll tell you this, the fit and finish is nice. It looks to be better quality than what is coming out of China.
I can build a pallet if you want. PALLET CHARGE IS $175.00. Pallet will be 8' x 4' in dimension. I can not load into box van, just a flatbed truck or open trailer.
Read my Lips....(Sorry, George, Sr.)
I have run this machine. It seems to run very good, however, it is used, so please don't assume it will be perfect. Please assume you are going to have to do some adjusting, cleanup and repair. THIS IS A FINAL SALE WITH NO RETURN.
