The lathe was disassembled  in the summer of 2013, due to a change in the production process of the workshop where it was installed. Well preserved by grease and stored in another  building, on foundation, but not assembled.

Very good working condition. Before dismantling the machine had been used for processing of shafts for ships in a shipyard. In the best years of production, the factory has produced max 6-8 ships/year. We are speaking about the main shaft of a ship/vessel. The duration for production of one shaft is about 7-10 days. In general, the machine load has been between 1/8 and 1/12 per year. 

From approximately 2005 to 2013 (production stop and dismantling of the lathe) they have produced shafts for no more than 5 ships. Plus minor repairs of shafts- turning of chips, as we said, and sporadic services of external companies. Or, in a rough calculation, the machine has been running for 20 days/year.
