Hmm ... a closer look says that this turret is coupled to the
leadscrew -- and probably has a power feed -- so it would be a major
task to remove it and put on a tailstock. Just leave this one set up as
a turret machine, and use another machine for normal non-production
lathe work.

Good catch. I used to own one and the feed does run thru the turret.
It would not be practical to switch back and forth between the turret
and a tailstock.
