Tmac,
Even at that price you will not lose money on it. I have seen them go for over $600.00 on Ebay auctions. Cross slides for these lathes are one of the most sought after watchmaker tools out there; which is why the supplier raised his price.

I may get divorced, but I’m going to get the thing. All I need now is a face plate, the motor, and about 20 more collets.
