I've got a viceroy educator, a beast of a machine! Think it's around 1000mm centres, ish so a fair deal longer and I paid about the same price for mine? I'm very happy with mine.
Love the look of them, think one might end up as a dedicated bowl lathe in my shop one day, nice solid machines and when converted to variable speed would be great.
Regards Chris.
I got one on eBay a few yeas ago for about the same money with an inverter it was 3 phase great machine plenty of power but it wasn't quite what I wanted and I sold it back on eBay and made a small profit to a guy in France and he didn't want the inverter so I sold that and made a bigger profit nice
