Vonnegut Metal Lathe - a site to behold.

I am going to be selling some things for a friend on eBay, so I figured it would be worth it to plug them here.
First up is a metal lathe made by the Vonnegut Machine Co, which used to be in Indianapolis, Indiana. This thing is huge. Everything on it works great too - the owner has even turned a few brakes for his truck on it, with no problems at all.
...and yes, it is the same Vonnegut that Kurt comes from; in fact, the young Kurt Vonnegut worked at the Vonnegut Machine Co while going to high school in Indianapolis.
She's a beauty - this thing only proves that "they don't make them like they used to."
If you are interested, please click here, or on the picture to visit my eBay listing.
