    Lathe... Help please

    I suppose I should be on a model engineering forum for this..... but does anyone have an interest in a Warco lathe which I have had for 20 years and used a little.... Downsizing means I have to get a smaller one. Suggestions as to where I should advertise and for how much would be appreciated..

    Warco GH 1224, now been superseded . Lots of extras 2 hp/1.5kw motor , max length 1540mm, Headstock spindle bore 1½" so suitable for a barrel.
    Kept in a warm dry workshop.

    Thank you,
    .
    Dave

    30 seconds on google suggests around £1850, depending on what bits & bobs are included.

    No DRO but it seems to have every other accessory. Were you looking for anything in particular? Dave

    Not really mate, just curious as they do come with quite a few ancillary pieces as standard.

    Good luck with the sale anyway, they are good machines, especially the gear head models like you have,
