New member here in Northeast Mississippi. I work for a small coin-operated amusement biz. Been in that for 26 years. Last month i needed an aluminum activation pin for a coin operated domino table score keeper (made in the 70's here in Mississippi). Didn't have a lathe so I used a drill press. I guess that was the start of the bug. I haven't got a lathe yet. Been looking at them to find one that will fit my needs and interests. It will be a mini metal one though so I can also use to turn metal pens some jewelry and a few more parts for the domino table.
