I am considering selling my Conover 16" Lathe Set as a part of downsizing my workshop. Does anyone "out there" have a sense of what it's fair market value would be? Or how best to sell it? I bought it new in 1994 for $3,065.74. It has been in storage for the last 11 years. The motor is a Leeson 1.5 hp D.C. Variable Speed 220 volt. Total weight with cast iron legs and poplar bed rails and bottom shelf is approximately 400 pounds. It is in excellent condition. The Timken rollar bearings in the head stock spindle have just been repacked and it has a new drive belt. Swing: 16"; distance between centers is unlimited but with the current poplar rails is approximately 40". Head stock spindle is 1 1/2" - 8 tpi, #3 MT with 25/32" bore through. 24 position dividing head with outboard hand wheel. Tailstock spindle #2 MT with 7/16" bore through and 3 1/2" stroke. 6", 12", and "S" tool rests. Quick release lever for tool base. I live in southwestern New Mexico. :cool2:
