Someone nearby is selling a Hercules Ajax 14" X 72" lathe - anyone have any info good or bad on this brand/model?

Thanks in advance....

I don't know ANYTHING about that manufacture but I googled it. Their lathes look to be very beefy to me! If it works, the price is right and you have a need for one( ok, needing or not needing should not matter). If the first two hit the target, bring it home!
