I've been looking for a cheap bench top vertical mill for a while, So I dig through the tat on Ebay every few days. Yesterday I found this........

It a bit too far away, so I'm not even thinking about buying it, But something about it kept nagging at me, So I had another look at the photos today............. Is it just me, Or does anyone else think that the Z axis on this is the bed off a Drummond A-Type "Round bed" lathe?
If it isn't one I'd be surprised. I don't know if I should feel sad that it's one less part available to keep an antique hobby lathe going, Or be impressed by their creative "Upcycling" prowess.
