Though they will ask for your first born child along with a huge
amount of cash......

As much as I hate to say it...these are actually pretty good lathes

Their prices are usually not so bad, I bought a few parts from them

Finding them used can be done.

You may also wish to look for Colchester, which are pretty good lathes
as well. Sometimes labled Clausing-Colchester

Leblond is a very nice lathe...but...its not the easiest machine to
find parts for..and when they can be found..be sitting down when you
hear the price. Clausing makes your stomach hurt...Leblond pricing
will kick you to death.

Which is why I posted the Jet lathes....shrug
