The seller currently is asking $2000.00 for the lathe comes with original floor stand with shelves, 3 jaw, 4 jaw, center steady rest, quick change tool and extra attachments not know, has the original tools box and accessories.
I can buy the new PM-1030v for ($2,399.00 plus freight) with pretty much same accessories,
a warranty and parts are available. My concern is with this old of a machine what's the wear and tear factor on it or has been service cycle on this lathe. If any of the gears are bad or if I have to replace the motor what's that going to cost me ?
However I don't know what the current value or resale value would be if I decide to buy now and use it for few years and then try to sale several years down the road being it an older machine!
Any thoughts from anybody ????
