Here is another machine just coming in my workshop: A little jig borer Hauser M1 with a lot of accessories.











I'm really happy and now the job is to continue the SV12 cleaning.

Wonderful machine!!

In excellent condition, as far as we can see.

I am just curious: where do you catch such bargains? in workshops or in ebay?

Have a lot of fun!

Thanks for your comment.

This machine is in really great condition (only some paint scratch, but precision is amazing for an old machine like this).

I've bought it from a swiss workshop. I've never seen one on ebay. Only one time on a french website for 1500 euros but it was sold 10 minutes after online. You can find such great machines in Switzerland on www.swissmachines.ch . Prices are quiet high but they're selling great watchmaking machines in full restored condition. You can ask for Mr Perrin who isn't only a machine seller (as Luthy for example) but a machine lover too.

For some "classic" machines, it is quiet easy to find them to a really good price. But specific one like this... If you add good prices and high prices, you finally can have a good workshop for a correct price.

20 years or so ago I came across with such a machine ( virtually the same) : it was in very pristine condition. Simply a wonderful machine. esterefatto
It happened that I purchased it in a lot with some others but not aware of its potential I sold it almost immediately for a crust of bread

I then found myself many times crying just thinking to that very small rotary table ( the same visible in a picture of yours) which went away under my eyes

Yours pictures are very nice and I wish to thank you for having given me the opportunity to recall very pleasant past times of mine.

Regards.
