Yeah, you already have one

My daughter has that one.
Followed her to NC and LA.

A very generous offer! I have a friend at work who is getting into metal working and has been looking for a small lathe for his basement. I'll PM you with some details. He may really appreciate this opportunity.

Very cool

You could look for a charity or museum that has mechanical exhibits, they might appreciate some extra workshop tools.
The Helicopter Museum where I am a volunteer got an Atlas 12 x 24 lathe and a Tom Senior mill in a legacy, we have the mill working and have almost finished the lathe to sell for funds, a new metal bandsaw is on my wish list.

I've had great luck with FB Market Place.

Jimmy Diresta is in NY, just down state.
He's like the guru of the maker community.
Contact him to get the word out.

Agreed, small market, and rural area. But, I think the price is right. Haven’t posted it anywhere else. Craigslist will just get me somebody looking to pick it up for free and to make a dollar on it and that isn’t what what I want. I can try another hobby forum.

This is identical to the lathe I learned on. Got both from the same guy, but had to buy the first one. Acquired other add ones as time went along, and eventually went from a 9x36 to a long bed. It’s not costing me anything to hang on it just tired of wheeling it around and I never did use it.

I sent you a PM. A buddy of mine is willing to make the drive out there to pick it up and he'd give it a good home.

I’m not techno gifted but don’t see a pm.


found it and replied.

I think we have a new owner. Should be picking it up Saturday. Thanks for assist gentlemen.

Thanks Tincamp01 - my buddy is very excited. He was just telling me the other day that he thought he'd like to find a small Atlas lathe; this SB should be just perfect.

A great outcome. A grand gesture.
