Lathe and tire machine opinions

You can find them cheap. We paid $100.00 for this one and it was new. A Mercedes dealer in Lehighton Pa. had it out side. Most dealers had to get them out of there shop. They did not meet the saftey requirements For MSHA that had a certain amount of employees with Workmans comp., No proper guarding or saftey requirements eyes for Employers Insurance policy. The Dealers were able to right them off as a total loss. This one was on a tire pile where my son would pick up scrap tires. They couldn't give it to him he had to buy it and sign a waver. Employees were also not able to own it or tell their relatives about it due to liability.

My son just fell into **** and was at the right place at the right time. But we saw a couple of them come up on the internet since we got this one. I think there is one on right now cheap. The price new was around $15000. I saw one on craigs list for $600. It was on for not even a day. Parts are readily available on Amazon. Keep doing a search on "Search Tempest" There are some still out there
