It would appear that he didn't trust the tail stock or he could
compensate for different stock lengths by clamping the tail travel at
different positions. Sometimes 1/16" difference in pressure can really
show up in a project.

Joe,
Like you mentioned earlier - the price a LOM will bring is dependent
on its location AND the location of folks that are SERIOUSLY
interested in it. If one or two interested folks live w/in 100 miles
- seller will "score" with a higher price. On the other hand, if
seller is out in the middle of a "woodworker desert" (Odessa, TX?) -
they will find they have to lower their expectations. There will be
exceptions, but I think it is like lots of other things that get sold
(houses, land, etc.) - it is all about "Location" relative to the
buyers. I would have thought there'd be folks in NC interested.
While we are looking at this Mod 1800, I have a question. I have a
Mod 1000 and the tailstock is not installed like it is on this Mod
1800. (Mine looks like his - just attached to side rails with "open"
side down.) Look at pictures 6 and 7 of 17. Has the owner installed
that red tailstock piece upside down? (Or is mine upside down?) If
his is upside down - what is the reason? Advantage? Perhaps I may
need to flip mine - how about yours?

this is the same 1800 that rgoldner was selling that belonged to
burney ward...there are a couple of posts regarding this machine
that were last commented on about ten days ago...seems this piece
is not getting any interest, which is what some of us were
referring to in a recent post...is it the price?...is it the
location?...machine seems to have a number of options and
accessories...anyone have any input as to what this machine might
be worth?...difficult question...it would be one value if you are
an occasional user/hobbyist...and perhaps another if you are using
it it in a furniture making shop...i am relatively new to having a
legacy piece of equipment, so my opinion would be based on my
recent purchases...but i'll take a stab at it and say
2,500.00...anyone else care to offer an opinion?...joe biunno
