Can this be saved?

Just seen this for sale. No asking price on the item. It’s about 2.5 hrs away. It’s pretty rusted as you can see. This is the only picture I have. I think the tail stock is there also.

Everything there in the pic is salvageable

You need to know about the gears inside, locking it down, backlash. Would be difficult to check on that unit.

I sure wouldn't pay much for it. 20 bucks max. I wouldn't make the 2.5 hr trip unless it was free. You are going to put a lot of work in it to get it operational. If water got inside, it's a small boat anchor.
