By the way im not looking to rehome this lathe so if anyone is looking for a large project lathe this could be it.

Not terribly heavy for a lathe of tha size. As I've already had a bit to do with a Bantam and a Triumph of similar vintage I'm almost tempted to have a nosey just to a complete the set. Clive
