Small-ish lathe North bay (SF Bay Area) vintage un-marked lathe Southbend, Atlas?

Not mine just posting because it looks interesting.

Seller says they think it is a Southbend, looks more like an Atlas to me.

Short bed with maybe a 10-12" swing and a QCGB. It might make a nice compact, but not too small lathe for somebody without a lot of room (I'm assuming about 36" long, but could be wrong).

+1 on ATLAS, but too much for the lathe

Definitely a craftsman/atlas

Agree on the price, there are two longer Atlas / Craftsman lathes in the same general area asking $800 and $900.

The short beds don't seem to be as common. Hard to tell if it is the 24" between centers or the shorty 18". If it is the 18" then it wouldn't be much longer than an 8x16 mini lathe and it has a QCGB. There are a lot more options to choose from if it is 24" between centers.
