I may regret ever getting involved but there is a lady on a well known woodturning forum who wants rid of an old Selig Sonnenthal lathe in return for a contribution on behalf of her late father. With all respect to the lady she has little idea about the lathe and just wants rid quickly She's in Teignmouth Devon. I doubt if most of the woodturners have much more idea but it's got to be of some interest to someone on here. Can you see the post via this link? **LINK**

Thanks Jason. Wasn't sure if you had to be a member to read the post. Assuming you won't be able to post a reply I'll volunteer to act as an intermediary (within reason).

maybe better suited to a museum ? – I’m guessing pre WW1 by a few years? it appears to be possibly a later model than that illustrated on lathes.co site in that it has a rack as well as leadscrew but don’t think the seller illustrated the headstock

I would love to have that as a project (not that I need YET ANOTHER) but it's 250 miles away and I dont think my car would take it, even broken down.

Great shame.

I see that this item has been taken off eBay. Hopefully it has gone to an enthusiastic restorer.
