![]() 6956 forum posts 229 photos | I didn't notice it but it is interesting to see the added note that Tony of lathes.co.uk had got in touch to confirm it was a Drummond. So maybe he scans all ebay lathe posts to see what comes up. Now you have got me curious to know whether it is a Myford or Drummond and what date. Might pop up on the Groups.io or Facebook feeds. |
