Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

I'm shocked. Usually those guys store machine tools outside.
Weiler LX260, LZ280 & LZ300 Lathes

Edit - just read thru, didn't answer your question unless it does both. It does list both metric and standard pitch for the lead screw so there needs to be a better picture of the data plate.

A rather more old-fashioned looking incarnation of the 280 was the 140 mm centre height by 800 mm between centres Model LZG-280N. This used a cast-iron stand with drive to the headstock spindle by a conventional, less-expensive countershaft unit held within the left-hand cabinet plinth. The customer could specify either a single-speed motor, that gave 12 spindle speeds from 38 to 1600 r.p.m., or a 2-speed that provided a range spanning 38 to 3200 r.p.m.
Took a quick look as was nearby for something else. The Weiler is grubby, but not as bad as I’d expect for a 1950’s (?) machine. Metric machine, as expected. Couldn’t power up, motor doesn’t look original and couldn’t see plate for voltage, but looks easy to replace. Mutifix as in pics but only the one tool holder. No 4jaw or faceplate. Does have a dead length collet set up (didn’t have callipers so don’t know which type) in cabinet and drill chucks, odds and ends.
Didn’t take chuck off.
Not a clue about spindle bearing condition. Other stuff in way so couldn’t look at change gears.
Very lightly screwed to pallet.
