When I was originally started to think about trying out turning I was fortunate enough to pickup a second hand lathe via this forum for free.

What was needed was a lot of tender loving care and an incredible amount of elbow grease. The end result was to have this working lathe that I think I ended up using for around 2 years.

After purchasing a new lathe I have not used this lathe for about 2 years. Certainly not very good but I am mainly making bowls and shorter between center turnings.
The current condition of the lathe will require a little bit of clean up. There are two smaller tool rest and if I find the longer one you can take that one as well.
Please note: That you will have to purchase a motor for this lathe as the one that is in the photo will not be going with this lathe.
I am located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. This can be taken apart and fit in the back of a station wagon.
