CHEAP? Lathe FS
NTDWM but seems cheap for a bit of kit that would do most of the daft little jobs us Locosters would want to do! Spinning up bushes, drilling and
tapping etc....

Crikey looking at it, I think that was originally powered by steam or even Roman slaves

Shame the price of scrap has fallen lately or it would have almost been worth while buying.
Look for (in order of preference)
Myford Super Seven
Myford ML 7
Home work shop size Boxford
some of the better chinese ones like warco.

I have both an ML7 and a chinese mini lathe.
Both are ok, the ML7 is a much sturdier machine even for its size, and also more accurate than the chinese one. Super 7 is the one to have though
However the variable speed drive on the mini lathe is very nice.
