Not counting you repairing that Lathe, I used the Metal working Lathe at the Tweed Heads Men's shed -- am learning to use a lathe -- to make a couple of adaptors to use Weightlifting weights as counterweights on my Skywatcher EQ6 -- it came without Counterweights or a tripod, but cost only $200 with an Argo Navis, etc. plus I gave him a Marklin train set that I would have been willing to sell for just $200.
So what I am saying, is once the Corona Virus is over, your local men's shed may also have a Lathe. Only $50 a year and $5 a week for coffee and a raffle ticket at our one.
Bojan already has his Lathe, but others may be interested in this. Good luck in getting yours going Bojan. Sn some small ones that I would love, but no money.
