I currently have two lathes and only need one, so it's time to sell my JET 1236PS. I have it listed for $2000 on Facebook Marketplace, but honestly I have no idea if that's high, low, or spot on. There aren't many comps in my area (Daytona Beach, Florida) so I sort of just guessed. I'm open to negotiation and/or pricing advice from GRMers, especially if it's a quick and painless transaction.

I'm completely out of space, so this needs to be picked up soon. It can sit here for another week or two, but can't sit here for months.

My description from Marketplace:

Good working Jet lathe. Labeled as 12” swing, 36” between centers, 1 1/2” spindle. Runs well, though leaks a little spindle oil (I just keep it topped up). Includes three jaw and four jaw chuck. Includes sturdy bench with leveling feet. No other tooling is included. No broken handles, missing gears, etc. Machine works great. 

Unlike some imported machines, this lathe uses a standard 2 1/4 X 8 tpi spindle. Chucks and backplates are common and readily available. 

Currently wired for 220v single-phase, but also capable of running on 110v. Yes, this will work in your home garage without a VFD or phase converter. It is not a three-phase machine. 

I have a forklift and can load this on your truck or trailer. The bench is approximately 65” wide X 33” deep.

Sure, as long as you let me keep a car at yours in return.

I'm not in the market for another lathe (and I live on the other side of the country), but you might want to clarify: That's an AXA QCTP, right?

Yes, it's an AXA quick-change toolpost. Thanks!

The need is high. The financial ability, well wrong timing. I do have the shop large enough, a bit west in AL and could open it up for GRM free use? That would at least get it out of your way, and a lot of folks pass through this a way, on their way to the challenge!

Could deliver the LS I'm relaying, and load her right up?

So Tom, now that you're down to one lathe, it's time to make with the pics. What's the new lathe setup?
