Got a little surface rust on it.

Hey. What's little surface rust. Should clean up like new.

Looks like a project.
$1,000 May be a bit high

About 900 too high

Double tumbler gearbox, large dials...
Certainly worth consideration.

There is no shortage of metal lathes in California. And IMHO, a lathe and price like seeing is just not realistic.
