Seller would consider the lathe to be in “Good Condition”. It does leak a
little gear oil (again probably some of this is expected due to its age).
And the pinion gear casting that moves the tail stock is cracked (see
photo). This could be repaired, but seller has not. Seller does
have the crank handle for it though. When seller wants to move the
tailstock, they simply use the carriage to do it. It operates in all of
the speeds (seller tried all of them and ran it in min (18 rpm) and max (1200
rpm) speeds to take video of both, see link). It is capable of
cutting English threads (see pic of speed/feed plate).
Rigging is quoted at $2,350
