I had my suspicions about the rust being preservative. It's amazing how often I hear from people who've bought a house and found machine tools left in the cellar or garage (this was the case with the Warco miller). Also, people inherit a house and find that uncle Jim has left them a collection of machines tools. Sometimes they just want to give them away in a panic - but they often end up being advertised here http://www.lathes.co.uk/page3.html and here https://store.lathes.co.uk/adverts
The best was a farmer who rang to say he bought the farm next door and in one of the barns was a collection of thirty assorted Wadkin woodworking machines. The scrap man had offered £800, what should he do? They sold for £18,000. He was rather pleased!
