I got my 7 x 10 about a year ago on Kijiji for $400 it was fairly new and never set up.
It came with nothing just the basic lathe and a quick change tool post.
I took about 6 months before I completely rebuilt the lathe and set it up properly.
I slowly aquired many items as $ would permit.
some of the fun is making tools are equipment as you need them or making changes to the lathe itself.
I found a new complete set of change gears on Ebay for $20.
also snagged a few deals on C/G and Kijiji to set up the rest of the shop like a tooling grinder , drill press, air compressor etc.
LMS, Grizzly H/F and others a great sources for parts or new tooling items.
