Can you ID this lathe? Clausing maybe?

I thought you said said you were done with counter shafts and spin on chucks?
No gearbox bit it looks purty.

I'd take a screw on chuck for the right machine and price. I did crazy good on my SB.
A countershaft is ok if it's compact depth-wise.
If this is a 12" swing that's a plus. Small bore though.
I know the seller well and all of his machines are immaculate.

Looking at that picture though I don’t think it has the power cross feed there should be a slide out selector to go between both feeds.

The apron is different from yours. The star knob engages the power cross feed.

I found it to be good it did whatever I wanted. On mine that spin type clutch would bind making some scary moments so I took the apron apart and put in a spring that helped solve that problem.

Yes, I had the same engagment on my SB and it stuck once. Very scary!
 
Maybe but I would ask just the same somewhere in this site someone bought one and was disappointed that it didn’t I think you’ll find the clutch just controls the travel and not the cross slide.

From the manual on Vintage Machinery and Hobby Machinist for the standard apron:
