This was originally an (early 20th century?) treadle lathe, which I converted & restored for a friend some time ago. It's a quality item with a heavy cast bed and very substantial A-frame legs which detatch. The headstock has a dual-race self-aligning ball race behind the nose, and an oilite bush at the rear. It will need someone with mechanical skills to add a motor; there's a good jocky-pulley already in place. I've not cleaned it up since it was abandoned, but attached are photos of it immediatly after restoration, and "as is" now. Will donate sale proceeds to charity.
