We have this Hardinge lathe at work, gathering dust, and I think I have finally convinced my bosses that we need to sell it since we have never used it since they bought it at an auction. The only thing is, I need to know what type of Hardinge it is before I can list it on ebay or in the classifieds. I'm not sure if it's classified as a "second operation" lathe since all the second operation lathes I see have a dovetail bed and this one doesn't. Not sure what you would call this type of bed. So if anyone can help identify it for me and perhaps give me an idea what it would be worth, would be a big help?
The serial number starts with a 59.
Thanks,
Carl
