[modeleng] Scroll saw & lathe

Fellow swarfmakers,
   
  I am looking for good homes for two small machines, on behalf of a friend of 
mine who recently departed for the marshalling yard in the sky.
   
  One is a Nu-Tools Performance Power Products SS16-4 405mm Scroll Saw, 
complete with its instruction manual.  Looking at it, I reckon that it has had 
very little use.
   
  The other is a small lathe, in what appears to me to be a very nice 
condition.  I have only managed a cursory look at this machine.  It is not an 
imported machine.  There is no name on it, which suggest to me that it is 'home 
made', or rather made at a technical college with all its facilities.  It has a 
single dove-tailed slideway for the bed, and there is a gap which permits a 
swing of about 9cm (sorry about that chaps, but the only rule on the bench at 
the time was a metric only one).  There are three chucks, plus a tail-stock 
chuck.  The machine is light enough to be lifted onto the kitchen-table, but 
there is a comforting solidity to it that I do not associate with micro-lathes. 
 There is a 4-way tool post that is bigger than the one on my Myford ML10.  It 
does require an electric motor to power it.  Sometime during the next week or 
so, I should have the opportunity to measure this lathe, to give you a better 
idea of its size and capacity.
   
  Both machines are in Essex.  I have guestimates in my mind as to the asking 
prices, but what is more important is that they should go to someone who would 
appreciate and have a use for them.
   
  Best wishes,
