What do you think about this. This is the lighter version 10” right? Not the heavy 10. What about the bed length? I am not really space limited is the 3ft bed going to cause issues in certain situations? What about price? I assume it comes with all the tooling. Would this lathe be 3 phase or single?

Looks like a heavy 10 to me. Asking these questions to the seller would be more helpful I would think.

Yeah it was her grandfathers and she isnt sure.

That's a Heavy 10 for sure.
It has an aftermarket motor and the switch leads me to believe it is single phase.
The bed length may or may not be an issue, it all depends on what you think you might be making. Bear in mind that the bed length is really the length of the bed from left end to right end.
It looks to be in good shape and if it includes a 3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks, all the collets it's not a bad price.

Yes, older Heavy 10 short bed with single tumbler QCGB. That collet drawtube and collets look too small to be 5c, so likely not a 10L. Price is at the top end considering small spindle bore and short bed. I have a Heavy 10L, they are great lathes.

I saw that one! I think it’s worth it personally. But it might just be pretty, and worn out. No way to know except in person.

I bet she takes a good bit less if you show up with cash. Estate sale probably just wants it gone.

Too far for you, but good for comparison.
