[PSUBS-MAILIST] Harrison Lathe

["James Frankland" <james@guernseysubmarine.com>]

Hi All.

Having just spent ages getting my own lathe fixed (Myford ML7) i have the oppertunity to get another.

I havent seen it yet, only these pictures and it looks pretty battered.

I think i've tracked it down to be a Harrison L5 Mk 3

Scroll down to the 5th picture on this site.      http://www.lathes.co.uk/harrison/page22.html

The guy wants GBP 150 for it.  Not sure its even worth that, plus i'd have to find somewhere to put it.

But, these things are scarce especially on my little island, so i'm very tempted.  Not sure on the swing until ive seen it.

What do you think?  Anyone have any experience with these?
James

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Drug Sub Legislation

Hi All.

Another drug sub article, but this one seems to mention some new legislation in the states?

"To boost efforts to crack down on drug-sub use, Congress last night passed legislation making it illegal for anyone to operate a "stateless" mini-sub on an international voyage."
