I'm completely new to machining. I'm at ironworker by trade and car and motorcycle enthusiast on the side. I've always wanted a lathe and I've come across the opportunity to buy this one. It's old and has been outside for sometime. I have no idea what brand it is, nor are there any serial numbers in plain sight. I know it's missing pieces. The labor involved in freeing up all the moving parts, as well as parts needed is not really a concern. My concern is, is it even worth it to restore it to working condition. Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated.
