This one's for sale near me. Is it a gearhead, or some sort of
variable speed? The headstock looks rather small to have a gearbox,
but there appear to be a lot of levers just for thread changes.

I've never seen an Okuma engine lathe but my experience with their 1983 to present cnc's
is that they make a very solid and advanced machine. We can still get parts for the 83
cnc's. Check into if you can still get parts for the engine lathe.
Give it a good look in person. You might be very happy with it.
