Yup that's a good deal.

Seems really odd for a small lathe like that to be sitting there with an alignment dumbbell poorly mounted in the chuck. Suggests something seriously wrong with it. Maybe I'm just being paranoid......

I'd be more worried about the ways, from the picture looks a little rough on the edges when you blow it up.

Whoa do they ever look rough, that's gotta be dirt/grease or something. How the heck could ways get in that bad of shape otherwise?

Might explain the alignment bar.

I did not notice that initially... I've written asking for better pics

Looks like the worst of the damage is in line with the chuck. Might have bent a thin shaft that went so whacky that he was afraid to get close enough to hit the E Stop. If so, I'd like to have been a fly on the wall when it happened! 40 years ago I saw a big shaft hanging out the back end of a lathe bend and go crazy. Everyone ran for the exit as fast as they could. That lathe was like a mad bull in a China shop! Nothing was spared!

It looks well used, while that may not be something to worry about, but it does require investigation.
