Looks good and the price seems reasonable. Only $600 for a quality
spindle lathe. 16" swing. Only potential problem is the motor. 1
hp and I bet its 3 phase. Uses pulleys for speed. Plate says 50
hz. So European motor of course. Europe uses 3 phase. $600 plus a
new single phase motor and you end up with pulley variable speed.
Maybe not a bargain for a home woodturner in the USA.
yes it is an oddball for sure but it is an interesting lathe
maybe outfit it with a vfd and that would be enough
