Holbrook C16

[phm87]

Hi All,

I bought this today.
It`s not home yet, it needs a little work, though not as bad as it looks as it has been greased up while standing, there is no rust on the vital parts as far as I know-time will tell?
I`m all giddy! is that wrong? i`m sixty

C 15. Taper turning and the usual refinements

 

[phm87]

It`s a 1000rpm pressbrake1, not the high speed 1500, so what.
It will go nicely with my H=15 and two Minors
I left a message for you in the non member for sale section, it is a Lang.

We did wonder who bought that old clunker spencer 427.lol
An early C 15, in good condition

Thanks, did you have a look at a monarch Lathe the other week?

 

[phm87]

I did look, were you the lucky man?

If I could have got it home for sensible money, I would have been a player.

 

[pressbrake1]

Yes it was me , two monarchs in the shop!
Is the taper turning missing?
When he said a Holbrook nut had viewed it I knew it was you!!

Still looking for a 20” swing Holbrook

 

[phm87]

I thought it would be you, I did not view it, but I know who did.
Taper turning is present, though no steadies unfortunately. It does have 3+4 jaw chucks, quick retract, knock out bar and the collets in the oak box with the collet closer.
I know of at least 3 people who are after a 20" Holbrook, if someone reading this knows of one, contact me first please, pressbrake1 has far to many lathes,

If I find a 20 it's going right next to all the other machinery

I know someone with a h20 he backed out of selling it as some things you can’t ever buy again no matter how much money you wave

No, perfectly understandable.

Under Tarps?
Beats hoarding newspapers I suppose.

Yes some are under traps at the moment. I out grew the yard so had to bring a few back as I have not completed the 117 sqm of new workshop yet.

 

[phm87]

I do know of somebody who collects machinery, puts it in his barn, covers it up and switches the lights off, what a F***ING waste!
No it`s not pressbrake1 or me!

 

[pressbrake1]

My stuff has to work hard for its living!

 

[phm87]

You had better not leave the C15 under a tarp spencer427?, or we will have to send the Holbrook police round.
