Oh boy that's not for everyone. Even at only $400, personally I'd pass on that. I'd be afraid of missing /un-repairable parts. But if a fellow had another similar parts machine...

That's a Taiwanese generic . They are pretty common but no longer made. Mine is a BusyBee. There is a Grizzly version. An earlier version from the look of the norton style gearbox housing. I used ordinary Timken bearings when I changed the belts. That's what was in it .

I wonder why the tailstock appears to be a nice gray color and the machine base is green, somebody painting stuff or different machine.

To me the gray tailstock does not look like the typical matching Asian tailstock for that lathe. Maybe it's from another make as you suggest.

Tail stock is def. from something else. Might be some pieces that a person could part out, like maybe the chuck and apron parts? Motor ?
