After a workshop clear out, sat in my yard, waiting the next scrap
man,
is an ancient centre lathe. Unused for the last 20 years!

Try posting to uk.rec.models.engineering , there are people there that
have far bigger machinery than you would imagine a model engineer
would want

Umm... I'm not really that bothered. It's just that I had no sooner
pulled it through the door than my woodworking tenant was across the
yard with a spanner to disconnect the chuck! (now fitted to his 6"
Colchester. I hope he remembers not to fully wind out the jaws:-)

The scrappies will come with a Hiab and save me the bother of loading a
m/c probably weighing 1 ton onto someone's 5cwt car trailer.
