Best case scenario would be to build some seating you could slide into the T-Slots and use it as a Ferris wheel for toddlers.

for $4000 it looks like they just want to clear it out. Would be a great machine for doing the shaft bearings on the ship!
 
I was in a shop in Price Rupert a couple years ago that had a similar sized lathe.
The bed was probably more than 30 feet long. There was a big horizontal hydraulic press beside it.
I would guess by the size of the ram close to 100 tons.
They used the lathe to make propeller shafts and the press to install and remove propellers.

I'm guessing the $4000 is close to scrap value for the iron. Wonder how much it cost new? Would be interesting to see how it gets moved!

Where I live (Hamilton ON) its a common sideline for people with a pickup truck and/or a trailer to make extra cash by collecting scrap metal and selling it to the scrap dealer. It never occurred to me that other places might not be the same in this respect. Hamilton after all is known as "steel town".

Back in the Fall I lucked into a bunch of industrial machines. I was facing the prospect of scrapping them. Had that turned out to be the case I would have not received a penny for them.

It’s a steel town that’s kinda run down, often nicknamed the hammer then that changed to the dirty hammer

Old joke that’s borderline not appropriate- took a girl on a date and she asked me to kiss her where it smells funny

So I drove her to Hamilton :D
