I've been browsing around all the local classifieds and on ebay for a small machine to put in my basement to make me feel better about not having access to a machine shop anymore.
I found a 13" SB locally that appears to be from 1966. Other than some missing paint which is to be expected, it looks like it is in good shape. The cross slide has been scraped in and the lead screw replaced. The spindle bearings are tight and it comes with a 6j/4j/3j chuck, taper attachment, collet drawbar & nose, along with some other accessories.
I know price depends a lot on condition and location, but what is a good starting point for something like this assuming the ways are in good shape too? I mean the 6J bison chuck is probably worth at least $500 by itself....
