So the front slotted shaft. Doesn't look like a South Bend type slotted lead screw. There's a rack under the ways. Think maybe someone replaced the original lead screw with a slotted shaft?

Or maybe the lead screw used to be mounted in the two bearing holders above that.
 
$200? I'd buy it if I still lived on the mainland.
Yeah, the lead screw is missing from the upper bearings, but I'm guessing it's within 5 feet of the machine!

If I had the space and didn't have 42 other projects... I'd buy it, install a ball screw + AC Servo, motorize the cross slide and put an AC servo on the spindle. At this point either my ELS or CNC using a Raspberry Pi4 with LinuxCNC. Total cost would be $1500 and the labour.
 
The guy is pricing it quite reasonably. the chuck is worth 100 bucks alone. No road trip for me, however.
