Looks like a pretty nice restor job from the pics..?? With the counter/jack shaft the low speed should be pretty good. I think the price might be a little high:dunno: What does everyone else think.
 
Nope, too expensive, IMHO.

I'd also want to know what the MT is, a MT#2 or MT#1 (MT#2 is what you want) I'd also need to have the thread on the spindle checked, if it is an odd size, that would suck as well, 1 1/4" is what you want, or at least is the most common in the states.

For $200, maybe.... :wave:
 
It's a nice lathe but I agree with Stu. For what your getting usefulness wise it's to high. You can sometimes find one of the Broadhead Garrets for that kind of money. Much heavier lathe, most mass.
