Re: | Golmatic MD23 | Myford Connoisseur | South Bend

Last time I asked - about two years ago - prices for the Golmatic MD23
started about $20K and up - WAY up... The salesman insisted it was
cheaper than buying six high quality machines to do the same functions.

Incidentally, around the same time, I priced a top-of-the-line fully
tooled-up Myford Connoisseur Super 7 at $16K+. Anything not Chinese
these days is completely out of reach for regular hobbyists. What
does a new South Bend lathe go for today ?
