thanks. I went to look at it today. he has a home machine shop with two other lathes. one is HUGE and the other is a good bit larger then this one.
I could see some wear on the way and it only had the 3 jaw chuck and collets. no other tooling. he claimed to have never had it off in the last 15 years. the belt was worn to the point that it would pop off when turned on. you could put a tool on the side of the belt till it got turning and then it would work. it ran smooth. it has three shades of paint on it and could use a fresh coat.
he is asking $1500 and as of now I have passed on it.
