They are a low end lathe and that one is not too spectacular looking. No tooling, missing change gears, missing cross handle, wrong compound handle, etc, etc ,etc. I would pass

Pass.
One time I called a man who had 3 anvils for sale, $400, $300 & $200. He said the first one was a pretty good anvil in decent shape, the $300 one was pretty dinged up but still serviceable and the $200 one was just so you could say you owned an anvil. That's a $200 lathe.

109
Quote:
If I were looking for a 6" swing lathe, I'd get a 1"-10 t.p.i., Timken tapered roller bearing spindle equipped Atlas 618 or its twin, the Craftsman 101.21400. The construction is much sturdier than the 109. 109 is a Craftsman designation, not built by Atlas but by Double A company. You can make some comparisons between the 109's and the Atlas machines on lathes.co.uk. Tom

I had one cleaned it up got it working nice actually did some turning with it and sold it to a Craftsman NUT for more than I had invested in it . I replaaced it with a craigslist found Horrible freight 7" lathe that honestly is 10 times the machine that old craftsman was . The worst part to the craftsman other than the 1/2" spindle thaat bent EXTREMELY easy was the fact theres no dials at all on it so you have no idea how much you are actually moving things when you move them

You've all mirrored my thoughts--not worth it... I didn't even waste my time contacting him or making a lower offer.
