I tend to have a knack for coming across the right deals at the right time. But, this one appears to have trumped all previous entries into my log.
I've been looking for a small lathe (7x12 or so) for stemwork and stumbled across a little Emco (the Austrian company, not Enco) 5.12x14" for next to nothing. It's in excellent condition, is perfect for the job, and was definitely the right price at $200.
