Toyo ML-1 Miniature Precision Lathe 2" centre height and 10" between centres. 590mm long, 260mm wide and 175mm high (23.5" x 10.25" x 7").

I'm the only person to have operated the Toyo and, after the company closed in 1998, I brought it home for my clock-repairing hobby. It has been used for fewer than 100 hours since new.

Colchester Bantam Lathe 5.75" x 20" metric specification and mounted on the maker's stand with a stainless steel backsplash with 2 shelves. The lathe is still in the maker's paint finish, in very good condition and everything works as it should - and is a pleasure to use.

New, unused Newton-Tesla 1 h.p. (750 Watts) 3-phase, 230-volt 1400 r.p.m motor on a resilient, vibration-reducing mount and with a 5/8" shaft. Suitable for Myford 7 Series and Boxford lathes, etc. This motor was bought as part of a Newton Tesla VF drive for my Myford 254 Plus, but the lathe came fitted with a 3-phase motor and I used that instead. This motor has been stored in my shed for several years, so it looks a bit tired, but it is absolutely new and unused. £50 Phone: 01903 746436  or  07771 695485
