Yeah, it's pretty outdated
That's a real oddball lathe, well built I am sure but any parts unlikely available.

Thanks for posting. I’d scoop it up fast if it wasn’t all the way out in Vancouver BC.
4 day round trip, expenses, vacation time, pulling a trailer plus required use of their rigger$$ then swapping electrics to 240v from 415v and cleaning it all up it would have to be had for them writing me a check! From the description it sounds like it’s going to need some fixing also. Dang kids pommeled it.
Btw its not an oddball so much as you don’t see too many come available. Its a high quality 11”x30” geared head w/variable speed, foot brake etc. features everyone wants but aren’t typically found in this size range. Fact is their not available new because can’t be made at a cost the hobbyists market supports.
I think nowadays Clausings start at the 13x size and go up. The sub-13” category is the domain of Taiwanese PM et-al.
Parts are available thru clausing 600 group and no they aren’t cheap.

If that were closer, I'd bid it as I've always wanted a Harrison M250.
