Even if this is a good deal, I couldn't swing it at present. What say you?

I say, it's too bad you can't swing it.

I wonder why the tailstock is so grubby when the rest of the lathe looks clean?
If you go inspect it, make sure you get all the pieces of the collet closer. I don't see a nose piece, draw tube or the adjustable link.
