I`m still sulking after putting a very respectable bid on an M type.
The lathe in question was one of the first M types produced by Drummond Bros and only had a production run of 4 years (1921 - 1924 for those that wish to know), making the one on ebay a rare old item.
During conversations with the seller, it appeared that there was little interest in his merchandise so I thought I was in with a good chance of winning it.......only to be outbid in the final 10 seconds. A once in a lifetime purchase snatched away from me  Cry

Being belt driven you could always convert the myford to steam.

You'd have to play your old 78s pretty loud to hear them over a steam engined gramaphone wouldn't you?
P'raps that's why those young chaps in their hatchback jalopies play their hippity hoppity music so loud.
