With a gearbox it is a cut above the usual over priced worn out Myford.
I am curious how a large sum would be recovered from parts. Broken gears can usualy be adequately repaired. Can lathe owners not make their own replacement feed screws? When I was shopping for a lathe 50 years ago one firm had a new one with the bed in two pieces!
(In 1941 my plumber father showed his hobby artifacts including new cross feed screw to the Air Force selection panel and thereby avoided taking his slim chance with the Army in North Africa, Greece, Crete and Italy, and enabling the interest, and his RP, to perpetuate. Hobbies considered quaint by many have their virtues)
