Wow. If that 4 jaw is any indication of the life that lathe has lived........
 
From what I've read (can't remember where) Lantaine is supposed one of the better Taiwanese generic lathes.
 
For this size lathe, with standard disclaimers, its a good price.

I mean come on, how much a new lathe costs in 12 x 36? Well? With taxes its easily over 4000 if you want QCGB.

I agree, but keep going tom, she's well over 5k for a lathe that size with a quick change box now

Given Alberta's market, that looks like as good a deal as someone is gonna get around here

I imagine that 4jaw is covered in surface rust from being in an unheated shop and never being used
