A surprise new addition to my shop

[Reggie]

I stumbled onto an auction that a large computer company in the area was having. In the back was a lathe that no one seemed to care about. I took a chance on bidding on the thing and only one other guy was bidding. Well, to my surprise he stopped at $750 buck when I was planning on stopping at $1K for this $9K lathe with over $5K of tooling!!! I won at $800!!!! I am so stoked!!! Once
I get familiar with it, look me up if you are in the area
and need some time on a lathe.
Here is a brochure on the lathe (http://www.southbendlathe.com/g26t.htm)

Nice score Reggie!
