Default Price question, Atlas 6"

Price is not too bad but certainly no bargain.

"no extra gears" means no change gears, means no threading. You could
replace them but they are spendy for the full set. "very little tooling"
means a fair number of bucks to get to the point where you want to be.

Example: I bought a nice little Logan 200 lathe for $300. By the time I
got done with a new head stock bearing, replacing 1 missing change gear,
adding a quick change tool post, replacing the trashed out 3 jaw, and
some misc items I doubled the price.
