I think I found it on lathes

Bit of a niche machine but I imagine someone could put it to good use

You might get more interest if you can offer it to ornamental turners just because it is so unusual.

It would be nice too to submit some photos to Tony at Lathes.co.uk as there may not be many more still in captivity.
