The problem for me..is finding SMALL machines. I can find any number

This one looks like it's in pretty good shape, and the price is very
good for listings in this area:

Looks like a good size for his needs, and the steady rest is a
nice extra -- especially if he starts working on rifle barrels.

It would be nicer if it had the power feed and the quick-change
gearbox -- and I don't see the collection of change gears which should
come with it since it does not have the quick-change gearbox -- but it
is a good start. I would add a quick-change toolpost and certain tool
holders in place of the lantern style toolpost, but other things
(including the gears) can probably be found on eBay over time.

Good Luck,
DoN.
