Look for school auctions. ESpecially if it was an old highschool with a full shop. I just missed one last weekend.But By all accounts the bidder line to get a number went clear around the building.Problem was I was not looking and missed it. I would love to have a small lathe and a bridgeport. I was a insturment maker(same as aTool and Die maker) at Bendix Corp in the 60's and loved the job,just not the being cooped up inside,Farmboy ya know.
