I believe this is one I mentioned a few weeks back. Both lathe and mill were badly in need of clean up. The lathe also had a 6 jaw chuck as well as the usual 3 & 4.
 
I guess I should have said "she" not he. Condolences on her loss.
Do you think they would cleanup okay?
 
I didn't look at them closely, but if the couple of year old photo is any indication, then yes they'd clean up. The $3500 is definitely not for both. She's been told that each is worth that, and although I did not inspect them really, I don't disagree.
 
If that's the lathe I saw, then that should be a pretty good deal - although she had been advised to sell the tooling separately, so I have no idea what might or might not be included. Hopefully, at least the 3 & 4 jaw chucks. I guessing not the 6 jaw? but who knows.

Unless one buyer gets the lathe, mill, and 'extras', the odds seem (to me) very good that 'bits' will be separated from their machines. In bygone days I went to a lot of rural auctions, and it was common to see accessories for tools end up in a 'box' that was a separate lot. I also spotted on more than one occasion, people hiding items in a box that they intended to bid on, but that's a different thing. :)
 
I surprised these have not gone - at that price it's a deal. I'm guessing they were not cleaned up, and the mess may be scaring away potential buyers? I have no need for another lathe, or another project, and am in the middle of a move, or I'd consider it just because I'm a sucker for a good deal.
 
I don't have the need or the wanna at this point either. I'd like to think I could be someone else's second lathe as they could be mine.
