Ill post photos later when I get some. Looking to ID a 12x36 gap bed lathe. Badged as "Lincoln" model RL 25, tag says made in Taiwan. Any ideas?
 
These were made with different names for different tooling houses that sold machinery. Here is a Bolton Tools 12 x 36 that looks a lot like it. The Jet 12 x 36 is comparable also. Regardless, you may not find parts for a Lincoln, but the other names will work. Also, the Taiwan lathes were better quality than Chinese so that's a plus.

I'd say 500. If someone offered me 400 I'd take it.
 
I don't see a treading dial in the pictures. You might want to see if it's available.
 
I'd take it for under $500. , is what you see what you get? No stand , missing parts.
