Not worth the money for their lathe alone.

Like MM said, the head stock maybe bushings not bearings.and for a few more dollars you can pick up a good mini lathe. Some old tools are just that old, some times the newer tools are better.If you do not know a lot about lathes or wood turning look up a local club and visit you can get a lot of good information to keep you from spending money on something that you wish that you didn't after you got it. Just my 2 cents

Sprunger

Sprunger had a reputation for decent equipment. At $250 I think it is at least double what I would pay. With a new motor , pulleys, belts etc. you are looking looking at another $3oo to$5oo, forget it.

Good lathe, and probably an excellent island price. Mainland is in the 350-500 range. I had its cheaper cousin for over 20 years, and it earned its keep as well as allowed me to play.
