A 10K you mean, not the 10L.

I would grab that one while still available. It's the best price I
gave ever seen.

So Animal, did you win the auction?

mike allen
 

        Nope , I was the high bidder & in the last 60 seconds it went up %$20.00 & it wouldn't let me bid . This is only the second time I've tried/used Ebay & the first time had a couple of problems .

        Now I'm racking my brain on how to do it with the factory tumbler . Problem I'm having is that the lathe is not in front of me & now their talking maybe a foot & half more snow by end of week which will probably change my plans to move it to my new shop .

Sounds like you had a network reliability issue on your side. It happens with both phones and laptops. Next time, figure out how much you want to pay and bid it upfront. Then if you lose the auction you don't blame yourself for being to slow.

Full sympathy, Mike. If I'm trying to stick a late bid on ebay (uk) I hit the bid button at least 20 secs before the auction end, or just put on the max I am willing to pay an hour or so before and go and do something else. I'm not saying 20 secs will work for everybody. Depends on your broad band speed etc. You need to develop your own late bid timing interval. (It once worked so finely for me that I was accused of being a robot!)

You have to be careful with auctions because they have a habit of making you pay more than you should. 

I figure the price I am willing to pay, early on. I then bid that amount and go away, never to look back. If I win, I win at the price I set. If I lose, I figure someone else is richer or dumber than me, and I look for the next item of interest. 

At least, that is my crazy plan. 🤪

It’s tough though. It depends on how much you need it. It’s it’s the last thing you need to get a machine going, and you can’t find it anywhere else, it might pay to bid more than you actually think it’s worth just to get the thing done.

I’ve been working on my 10L Heavy for 20 years now. When I bought it, in 1983, it was fine, but I was able to buy several new parts from SB. I kept it in my company to make parts. Then I bought a FOURTEEN for my shop at home. When we sold the company in 2004, I brought the 10L home, hoping to get it in better shape. I’ve been slowly finding parts over these many years. If I find one, I’m willing to pay more than it’s worth just so I can get this back together. But it’s a long slog.

Hi There, 

I use a sniping site.  I set the amount I want to bid and the snipe
service places the bid within a specified period of time.  In my case,
I have set my snipes to be placed in the last 3 seconds of the auction.
So far, I haven't missed a bid (but I don't always win).  That way, I
don't have to hang around at the end of the auction to place a snipe.

Good Luck!

I’m really not sure why people do this modification. I have a SB13 in addition to my SB9A.  Yes, it takes slightly longer with the wrench than the lever on the 13. Is it a problem? Not really, these are hobby machines, I can afford the extra 10 seconds it takes with the wrench. YMMV.

It’s a pain if you’re using a collet setup, you have to tear it down to open the cover. Just my opinion though.

Late arrival here. What is the purpose of the mod?
