Lathe Disaster
After spending a ton of money and a ton of time restoring a lathe I had that all ruined due to an unfortunate roommate situation. They thought I did something and decided to take it out on my completely customized Presto.
That being said I'm slowly in the market for new gear if anybody has any leads on any hear for sale.
Thanks!

I still say you need to file a police report. That's the first step in getting her out and a restraining order...

Re: Lathe Disaster
Hey, T. You didn't go into much detail as to what actually happened; is the Presto a complete loss, or are there salvageable parts? Bummer about the roommate taking frustrations out on a really nice and innocent inanimate object, my heart goes out to you. Looks like you were on your way to a really nice rig.
Re: Lathe Disaster
It's all pretty much destroyed. The head was destroyed, amp destroyed and the cutting arm is actually bent out of place. Also my turntable and a master was destroyed. There are very few things salvageable from the mess. I have found a cutter I might be buying that needs a shit ton of work but doesn't have a head.

She must be punished for destroying precious American heritage artifacts like this.
There are some dramatic details missing here.
What did you not do?
