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 lusted after an Okuma LS for years, but don't have the room, and
have been looking for some time for a compact sturdy gearhead to
replace my 10EE.

Its a gear head. And a nice lathe. DRO and everything.

How much? Should be worth about $5k or a bit more if they have
tooling, chucks and so forth.
