VERY Regrettable Sale ..

Purchased here only a couple of months ago

Long story short ... Moving and cannot fit in the new place

commercial cutting lathe from the 3UZ production studio at 45 Bourke St, Melbourne (circa 1940's?)

Accompanying the lathe is the big 3-phase motor (which would have been mounted separate to the floor-standing unit), and also a wonderful Grampian RA-4 valve cutting amplifier and BBC cutting head.


no drive belts but are easy to find.

Grampion BBC TypeB1/AGU cutter with Grampion RA4 cutting amplifier (all tubes included)

Also have a heap of blank clear cutting discs that i'll throw in

will post at buyers expense

Stafford QLD Australia
