Logan site says it's a 1954, first year with a vee belt drive. The part to examine/ask about are photoes of the bed rails, and under the belt drive housing. Hopefully they aren't rusted like the part on top of the belt drive housing. With rust like that it will be a job and price should reflect that.

6500 series are 14" lathes and accessories like steady rests and taper attachments are impossible to find. Other than that, if the spindle bearings are ok (you do not want to replace them) then they are good lathes if the ways are not too worn. The example above looks pretty grungy and neglected. Pass.
