Looking for a 13-16" Swing lathe 36-48 between centers

I've waited 30 years to move out this way, retirement, a pension and reasonable (at the time) housing prices made it possible!

Thanks on the lathe, I'm sure I will. It will get a complete tear down, full bath, new oils, wipers, felts and paint job and a fine tuning. Just feeling the headstock bushing and play... it really need it. I'd be amiss if I didn't figure it had about .010"- 0.020" of play in the caps. No body has tuned it for awhile, or they've run the bearings dry at some point... I'm praying for the former and expect it's part of the reason the lathe was sold off. I can also see shim packs underneath the caps still, so there's hope!

I've rebuilt a 10k completely in the past and these aren't a whole lot different.
