Hi pete.I think it's an old model C. Only thing it's got going for it is the two imperial and one metric threading dials, and the pair of travelling steadies. The lathe itself is a bag of ****, it's the bits that have value.
Many thanks, for the advice, i had sort of decided against it, plus my local university is selling off a load of equipment, ready for a demolition and rebuild of the building, but unfortunatly due to covid is closed down and no one available to talk to, so maybe wait until i see what they have Left, when it starts to reopen.I wouldn't waste your money on that. It's got no changewheels, so you'll have to buy those if you want to thread cut. The threading dials are starting to fetch silly money. The tailstock is incomplete, from the angle of the centre that's in it I'd say that he quill has been robbed and the centre's there to kid you that it hasn't been taken.
There are better lathes out there for the money.
Thanks Richard,^^^ get in first, have a trip down and see if there is anyone to talk to, alternative numbers posted up to ring.
I just noticed, currently there are a couple of Boxford lathe's on the "gandmtools.co.uk" site
Senility is not one of my attributes, at least not yet.And I thought that you'd forgotten
