First off let's ask what you're going to do with it. As a general purpose lathe I wouldn't even think about it. As a second-operation machine for manufacturing it would be a good machine - but if it's the one listed above all the dragging/not quite working items would spook me off at that price. As said, this is not a lathe it's a project - and Hardinge parts are not inexpensive or terribly common.
Horses for courses - ask yourself what you're going to do with it, then look at the price and condition.

As mentioned.
Not very useful for general lathe work, set it up and do the same simple operations on hundreds or thousands of the same parts. This is what such a machine is made for, I suspect that a hobbyist would find little use for it and it is also more then likely 3 phase.

Great machines , there's nothing wrong with the machine just there limitations. If I ever have a chance ill get one . But I'd love to have an old monarch in the 14" range. Ww11 models are my favorite. I just saw a lathe like this no tooling for under, $400.00. But the slides and turret will cost double at least.
