Found a Clausing Colchester 13x36 early 60's close by. It's been sitting inside mostly unused for over five years.
Dirty and greasy but no rust. It's a 440VAC 3 phase 5hp machine. Has a full set of collets but no collet chuck, three jaw, four jaw chuck, follow and steady rest, QCTP, etc. I haven't clocked it but did put the scope on it and it sounds like an old Singer.
Haven't got a price on it as the owner is out of pocket until who knows when. I do know he inherited it and has no interest in it. He lives many miles away and wants to sell.
So...I'm thinking this might be a "barn find" and I might pick it for cheap. It has never been advertised.
Thoughts?
