Just saw one a little different down here in Massachusetts for sale. While researching opinions on them. They are sturdy machines, being east bloc though you have some quality issues.

Even heard one guy taking about casting being so pourous that the headstock oil would pour out and leave puddles on the floor only thing plugging up the holes was the paint.

Makes you wonder about the pile on the floor

That one looks rode hard and put away wet.

And all that oil dry, looks like a serious case of ZFG to post a picture like that in an advert....
