Old Craftsman 6" lathe questions.
Here's the Model #101-21400 and the Serial #005406.
It's part of an estate inheritance and curious about this lathe
I had a real nice machinist fella stop by and inform me that this lathe is fully tooled with 3 chucks and he proceeded to run it and show me that everything worked. He seemed fairly impressed almost like a kid in a candy store. We had a good time and some nice conversation.
But was wondering what the opinion might be of what this unit is worth? I'm not a lathe guy so I may be looking to sell. But I am also a bit interested in it's history. It's actually kinda fun just to look at for some reason. Reminds me of a simpler time when a honest days work actually meant something.
