What would be a fair offer for SB 10L with no motor?

when I use search tempest, I keep it simple, I choose the tool category and the search term in "Metal"

I get several pages of results but they are easy to scan through.

Good luck
 
Listings for lathes in the Pacific Northwest are spotty at best, and prices are high for decent machines.
It takes patience to find a good hobby sized lathe around here.

Your search was looking for ALL of those terms instead of ANY. Here's the link to use of advanced keyword searching.

In order to avoid missing anything, I search the Tools category with no keywords. If you do it daily and check Search Only Today's Listings it doesn't take that long to scroll through and you find things you didn't even know you wanted.
 
Having said that, this just popped up. It won't last long if it's any good.

Searching is an art.
The correct syntax for this search would be
lathe|"milling machine"

It will miss listings that are misspelled or listed as "vertical mill", "mill", "Bridgeport", "lath", etc.
Searching for lath|mill should catch most of the the relevant listings.

Seems to be Taiwanese, so yes.

LAM-350BH & JET 1024/1236 Manual

There are a group of Taiwanese made lathes that are all essentially the same, but OEM'd under a number of different brands. JET, LAM, ENCO, Grizzly, Lantaine, Tida, Warco, Wey Yii, to name a few. The quality of the manuals varies with each...

My mill I found was listed as "overhead mill". Searching mill or vertical mill never found the ad.
