FS in MA: Linley jig borer/milling machine & Star 10" QC lathe

[John in MA]

Selling a couple machines that belonged to retired tool & die maker I knew who passed away. Both these machines were fully tooled (you'd never seen so many Linley collets) but nearly all the accessories were stolen in an estate sale that wasn't managed properly. Currently they just have the tooling physically mounted on the machines--anything else in the photos is probably gone. The estate also has lots of other random old shop stuff like hand tools, air compressors and non-PM equipment as well.

Linley jig borer and light milling machine. 7x17" table, 1/2HP Marathon reversing motor, rare OEM dial indicator mounts for X/Y travel. Basically functional but hasn't been used in 20+ years and will need typical servicing. This is a very compact unit. Asking $850.

10" Star metal lathe by Seneca Falls Machine Company. 10" swing, 24" between centers, 4' bed length. Has quickchange threading gearbox, integrated reversing drive mechanism with electric motor, and comes on its original iron legs. Delta 1/3HP motor. Asking $650.

Near Salem, MA. Open to offers and sooner is better than later for his widow. Contact via PM. Located in a basement with ~5 steps to ground level.

Price drop to $600 and $400. Linley includes vise, one collet, two spindle noses, a boring head, and some odds and ends. If these aren't gone by June 1 literally any offer will be considered.

Too bad I'm so far away and heading out of town for the next couple weeks. The jig borer looks like a perfect fit for my shop. Several years ago, I passed on a Linley and I'm still kicking myself.

Linley may be SPF, we'll see.
