Looks like a purpose built lathe for cutting profiles quickly (look at the wheels on the window sill).

Chain drive also!

The ingenuity is darn impressive!

I would think that hand wheel on the right is speed control with a split pulley.

Also looks like it has collet closer.

A lot of thought and work appears to have gone into it.

It's SOLD. It's interesting what sells here (Victoria BC)- there's such a scarcity of tools that things don't seem to stay unsold for long, especially if they are small enough to be moved without a lot of equipment. There may have been enough accessories to make that shop-built lathe attractive? Another FB ad that disappeared - I'm assuming it sold- was for an AA-109 type lathe @ $600.

Well it did come with a Craftsman Electric hand drill...

3-jaw, 4-jaw, set of collets, drill chuck, AC motor ..who knows what else was in the pile on the shelf? If it was a spindle with a popular thread, and it all sold for a couple of hundred....
But a lot of liftin' and totin' involved ..

I briefly entertained buying it just for the parts.

Plus scrap value at 12c per lbs. Still used chucks are not that expensive, maybe 100 each? Motor 20? drill chuck another 20? Depending on collet set it can be up to $100.
