Maybe it is just the picture, but it looks like the threads are completely gone from the leadscrew!

I can see some threads. I have a partial 109 lathe. The leadscrew threads are relatively fine. It’s a very lightly built lathe. Most of them come with a bent spindle.

My 109 came with a bent spindle. Don't remember step 1, but step two was to turn a 60 degree on the spindle nose and then mount a steel shaft between centers and make a new spindle for the lathe. Still works great. Mine had a split bushing with a nut on the inboard end so you could tighten up the bearing to compensate for wear. I know a lot of people hate on these lathes, but I've used it for lots of things. Heavy duty?? No. But it does make things round if you work within its envelope.
