Default How much should a lathe rebuild cost, approximately

I am just wondering if someone has an approximate idea: how much does
a lathe rebuild (just a bed and cross slide regrind and Moglice)
cost.

Transportation of the machine is not a problem.

Sizes are 16x30 or 16x54 for the two lathes in question.

Wow! No idea at all. I'd sure like to hear how much I saved
by "doing it myself". On a machine this size, it may be more
practical to use a bedway grinder that attaches to the lathe and
runs a grinding head down the bed than to put it on a huge
surface grinder.
