In article , Gunner says...

For a lot less than $10,000 US OR CND, one can purchase a decent
Hardinge HLV-H toolroom lathe, used. Even off Ebay.

There is a bit of difference between the two lathes...just a
bit....G

As one other data point, right before south bend went out
of business, they were selling brand new 10Ls for about
$16K, for the toolroom model.

(This may be one reason why they went out of business.)

But given the differences between the myford and the
10L, the $10K number actually kind of makes sense.
