Schaublin lathe in Canberra
I was down at M&G Industrial in Fyshwick today, they have a Schaublin lathe there along with a separate Schaublin cabinet of tooling.
Looks beautiful, lots of attachments, zillions of collets. Came from John Curtin School of Medical Research (ANU) apparently.
Mark of (M&G) wants $10K for the lot. Still, if destiny says that's the machine for you, then you just live that down.
PS I didn't see what Schaublin model it is, it looks like maybe 6" swing by 20" centres.

Out of my price range too. I imagine it going to a very serious horologist.
That's after coming across photos of the extraordinary workshop of Canterbury Clocks in Melbourne, where I see the Schaublin is also a 102:

That one was supplied by Apex Machinery in Mordialloc, or so the proprietor of AM, Derek Schindler, tells me.
