    Could anyone help find a home for a very large, very old machine tool? It is a Webster Bennett Vertical boring lathe, 48" dia table, from the early 1920's. It is in full working order. It is a rare survivor of a large machine tool from this period, and I would love to find it a home-either as a working machine, or a museum exhibit. As it dates from before Webster Bennett fitted electro-hydraulic controls, it is a much simpler machine to maintain too. It is very similar to this machine, but with only one main head, and with a side parting head: https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/File:Im1924EnV138-p310dd.jpg

    Should have said, the machine is in Derby, UK.
