There's a Sears Atlas lathe for sale locally. From the pictures, it
looks like an overgrown bench lathe sitting on a wood cabinet. Nothing
like the Monarchs I usually keep my eye out for. And he wants $900--you
can usually find CKs for $1500-ish. On the price alone, I'd rather
spend twice that and drive for a nice(r) Monarch.
But it's local, and I understand these things used to be popular, and
what do I know? Is it worth going to look at? It's an Atlas 618 or
Sears 101.214.
