The guy sounds nice. It was used in his furniture restoration business. He is closing that and reopening something else. He only has the live spur, no chuck. He says he has the manual and everything else original. Note the lathe has only been up for ~1 day and he reduced the price 100$!

I was very interested in this but one I don't need the duplicator and as this would be my first lathe I don't really know how to evaluate the condition and/or worth .

Happy hunting!

That model is a nice model, really a spindle lathe. FWIW

Gary, thanks for your post and link. I was curious as to what the lathe was, and you answered my question!
