Listmembers-

A couple of years ago I picked up a '70s vintage Levin Speed Lathe with 
Radius Turning Attachment.  This has the older (clasic) round top 
headstock. I was all excited when I got it and I had big plans for this 
unit.  I haven't fooled with it at all and it is just taking up space.  
It needs some work, but is a nice machine (new one is $8,000 +). This is 
a neat machine used to make contact lenses among other things.  I doubt 
that anyone will argue that Levin is quality stuff and sought by many, 
but out of reach new.

I would like to trade this for something I can use in the way of micro 
machinery or tooling, but will entertain any serious offers.

In offering my '70s vintage Levin Speed Lathe equipped with Radius 
Turning Attachment, it has come to my attention that many of you don't 
know what this animal is.  This is a good opportunity to refer you to 
Levin's online catalog.  I think this is a work of art that can be 
enjoyed even if these critters are out of reach new. Take a look at the 
modern version of this machine:  http://www.lainet.com/levin/page11.htm

I am looking for a trade of watchmakers lathes, instrument makers 
lathes, tooling and accessories, current or antique.  I am a collector 
of micro machines and tooling.  I also save parts and pieces in hopes of 
one day finding mates.  I am most interested in these micro sized items 
by Bergeon, Boley, Clement, Derbyshire, Favorite, Hopkins, Levin, 
Moseley & Rivett.
