Someone wants to sell it, supposedly a 12x48 Clausing. Looks a little
too rusted to my taste.

Has anyone ever restored lathes in similar condition, how much time
did it take?


It doesn't look that bad. You can ask on the Practical Machinist "Antique
Machinery" forum, restoring old lathes is their favorite hobby.
