This is a second rework on a reply.
I am very familiar with the mill, and it does have a good lube system, although it is a newer version of the one I had, it is still in the right range of dates to be built in Taiwan, which is plus for this model. The mill, if it works well and isn't worn out in the centre of the X travel (a problem for these machines), then it is worth, on its own, just under 3K$. I sold mine for 3800$ and I felt that it was a fair price (mine was in near showroom condition). They were very well built machines. They just look like the cheaper made ones. If the X axis is worn out then it is worth about 1K$
Now on the lathe. I still own a version of this lathe and they are very accurate and well built machines. In great condition, I've seen 2 go for 3K$ each in the past year on kijiji, one in Ontario, where machine prices are lower, and one in BC. --- HOWEVER --there are 2 red flags for the lathe. One is that the oil level is at the bottom of the glass, which is NOT GOOD and the second is the overall cruddiness of the headstock. I use mine several times a week, and seldom clean it and my front panel is pristine. That means the seals are probably gone, and he's patched it with Rad-fix or other leak stoppant. So the bearings are probably compromised. Sad. a great machine that is only suitable as a short term learning lathe. 800$ tops.
Bear in mind I owned the mill about 18 years and know its every quirk and have used this lathe's predecessor for 37 years.
