[AT] Old iron-what to do

[K7jdj at aol.com]

I have a very old "Wicks Bros. of Saginaw Mich." lathe that needs to go.  
This thing is 
BIG and heavy (2 tons plus or minus).  It needs some TLC to make it 
operational.

I am about to haul it to the scrap man but wonder if there is anyone that is 
interested in
BIG old machinery.  I bought it several years ago for $250 but finally 
realize I have way
to many projects.  I also need the space.  I thought about just saving the 
"base" as 
it would be great for a newer import machine.  This thing is about 7 feet 
long but only
has about 2 foot of useable space between centers and 18-20 inch swing.  
No chuck and missing the tail piece center, otherwise "ran when parked."  It 
has three speeds or steps in the pulley for power provided by an overhead line 
shaft.  I will be moving it out of the shop in the next few days so if you 
know of anyone interested have them give me a call or email.

Thanks,

Gary
