North Bay Machinery in Warren Michigan has a very good to excellent 
condition 9"X30" SouthBend Lathe, with the change gears, 3 and 4 jaw 
chuck, collet closer, collets and other tooling. There asking price is 
$1250.00 but they deal, it also has a metal stand if you don't want to 
put the lathe on a bench top,  I ran this lathe a few days ago and it was 
quiet, with very little back lash most all the scraping on the ways is 
still visiable. Tel number of North Bay is 810-759-6014  and they will 
ship but prefer to have the customer  pick up.

Several people wrote to me directly in response to my post about the
difficulty of finding small lathes.  A couple offered equipment (thanks!)
and a couple asked why I didn't give my city or region so more could
offer equipment.
To which I respond: I wasn't really posting a "wanted to buy" ad in
that message, just commenting on the apparent scarcity of used small
lathes.
I you DO have a small used lathe and are interested in getting rid of
it, I'm in Nashville Tenn.  If you're not in Nashville, you can still
write if you have a machine to unload.  We can figure something out if
the deal works for both of us.
Thanks for the responses, everyone.
