Thats a very nice looking machine. That was one of the good ones.
Someone here should snatch this one up and even having it shipped for
a few hundred, would get one super lathe for the money

Its amazing to me, that it is still here. A very fair price for such a
machine. A couple of weekend, cleaning up, some maintenance, maybe
paint
and an HSM'r would have a good starter machine pretty well tooled with
some hard to find tooling. Backgear is ok. No broken gears that I can
see. Would make a really great lathe if someone tore it all the way
down
and reconditioned it. Even if they put in another $500-$1000 along the
way its a heckuva lathe!

I will post more pictures here in a few...
