Colchester 14/24 and Harison 13/36 up for auction

[DelbertD]

Both lathes up for auction till Jan 24.View at 38 Highfield circle SE. The Harison has digital read out and the Colchester has a taper attachment. Very heavy industry lathes. The foot print is a bit big for me. Find online at Alberta government auctions

Harrison looks nice. Do my eyes deceive me on the Valenite, or does the compound look twisted? Hopefully camera angle thing.

Your right it does look bent upwards. I never noticed it when I took the picture. The thing I did notice about this lathe is that the saddle and cross slide are truly massive.

Looks like it has one of those funky threaded? chucks too, must be what the special spanner is for? Its a lathe only a mother could love

Not that I'm in the market, but is there a way to know how much they sell for?

I don't have an account but was curious how much the M300 sold for. Any way to know?

 

[DelbertD]

The Colchester sold for $2310 and the Harrison sold for $4810. On the Alberta online auction site below the for sale categories there is a link to sold items. There are thousands of items so it's better to know the auction number of the item, them you can just scroll to the item number.
