So I bought the lathe and his mill. His mill is an older version of the king PDM-30 lathe but made in Taiwan, it needs some work, but should be good to go with minimal effort.
The lathe is as good as I could expect from an older machine. The ways are in surprisingly good shape. The gears are perfect with nothing chipped. All functions work smoothly and as they are supposed to. I got it all with lathe, mill and a bunch of accessories and lathe tooling for 4000$ so I’m pretty happy with the deal and happy to finally make an adventure into machining.
