[Woodworkers] Have a chance to trade for a Walker-Turner lathe

On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 7:05 PM, Clint Warren asked us to gaze into a
crystal ball:

Yep.  ​Anything broken, missing or cobbled together.  Does the motor and
drive work easily?  Does it come with any tooling; centers, tool rests,
chucks, etc.?

​In lathe speak, other than morse tapers, there is no such thing as
"standards".  Yes, the head stock could have a standard thread for a face
plate or whatever, but the shaft length could be 6" on one lathe and 16" on
another.  I would have to see this lathe to be more informed.  I can
definitely say WT made some really nice tools.  Hopefully your lathe will
be this model...

​but, I really need to see pics of the one you may be getting.

​Sorry, someone smeared grease on my crystal ball. ​
