Yeah, I wish I could find a lathe at such a bargain. I can do a lot of the same stuff with a mill, it'll just require more setup to make the same parts than a lathe would. The mill is also kind of old and wouldn't hurt to be rebuilt but, is in useable condition. Even as is, it's WAY too good of a deal to pass up. $150 is cheaper than the scrap value of it.
