So I know of this lathe here, its being worked on and will be functional it has been on my list of future acquisition but I won't have space for it for 10 years so I'll have to pass it on. It has a taper attachment and both steadies, I think it's 3 phase now but could receive a 5hp single phase or it's vise versa. Anyone want I know more I'll ask more, but off the top of my head; 2 years ago the internal oiling system was rebuilt and it received very little use and was more of a shop project than production tool.

Cool lathe. Very unushual design it has no legs on the tailstock side of the bed and it seems really short for how big it is.
 
It really is neat, older but in decent shape and it is quite short, at right around 7' total
