Already sold Barry. It is indeed a very good example.

Great machine! thanks for the video

[@swisstoolmaker7684]

a fantastic machine David!

One of the best I've had William. Interestingly, this one has the ungeared cross-slide screw with normal plain 102 index dial rather than the more usual large dial. It is a factory fitting and even has a drawing in the manual. IMO this is a much better arrangement as there's no gear to introduce backlash.

bollocks, can't get used lathes like these in Australia. so unfair!

[@countryflash3600]

Nice product, but the gear sound is horrible.

[@jasonbell5905]

Very nice, however for a hobby lathe it makes a lot of noise.

[@davidsamways]

It sounds louder in the video than it is in real life, but yes, they're not a particularly quiet machine like a Hardinge for instance. Much depends on the drive type. This machine has a Reeves type variator which is slightly different in design to the Hardinge type and somewhat noisier. If you take a look at my video on replacing and adjusting the bearings on a plain 102 you can see how much quieter the standard flat belt drive is.
