Millport 1540 lathe quality, accuracy, issues?

[bguinn]

Hi, I have found a Millport 1540 in what appears to be great shape but I can't find much about this model lathe. Its made by Shen Jey does anyone have any experience with this machine and can attest to its accuracy, overall quality and if it has any issues I should be concerned about? Thanks! about?

Looks to be like new in the Craigslist listing, complete wit chucks follow rest, steady rest, Royal 5C collet closure. No wear on the ways. Seems to be a great buy at the asking price of 7K,. It is going to be quite heavy and large, so moving may be a bit difficult. Lathe is made in Taiwan, which tend to be high quality. As long as everything works and there is no damage (which there does not seem to be in the pictures), would be a nice heavy lathe.
