I just pulled the trigger on a low hour TL1 , with all the bells & whistles...
Need to sell my 13X40 HF gear head with all the tooling (shouldn't be hard to sell; just the tooling is worth the asking price ;) )

Congrats man. They are a great machine. I stumbled upon one a little over 2 years ago in a divorce sale. I got the machine, 8 inch chuck, 5C collet closer, tail stock, gang tool block and coolant system for just what was owed on the machine. I got it for $9,000.00. When I got it, it was 2 years old and it had less than 40 hours on it. Now it has about 2,000. I was able to run the machine before I bought it. I do contract machining, and I was able to rent that machine. It came up for sale about 6 months later.
 
Look nifty and I can only hope I need one some day...

Just curious, what are the specs on it?

I wasn't so lucky, you got a damn good price!!!
I was looking for a new one, but with the options, it came to about $40K
This one has about 400 hours and a bit over $25K
I got the following options on it:

Tail stock
8" true bore
spindle orientation
rigid tapping
User definable macros
visual quick code programming
Coolant pump
Work light
QCT with 6 holders

Just me and my 14 yo son in the house...So all plans are "the boy's plans"
As far as having work lined up for it; No not yet, but "build it, and they will come" is kind of my way of thinking.

present shop and garage: The 13X40 needs to find a new home...

After waiting for a few weeks, for financing, and delivery of the lathe, it finally arrived...
I had my fair share of challenges since the beginning of the project, but the arrival, and setting of the machine, prooved very interesting...

A few pictures, to support the statement...

Please be advised, that the TL-1 is in my basement.

The door was too small to accept the complete machine, so disassembly of the contorl and arm, were done in the middle of the street (Ilive in front of a school, and this was at lunch time or so...)

2X 18 wheelers ( 1 for the lathe, and the other for the riggers lifrts) , me and my friend taking the machine appart in the street, right next to a grade school with very unpatient parents, prooved to be a good test for my resilience ;)

Pictures to provide proof to the claim :)
