that is probably one of the images on your computer....
You need to go to CL find the listing and insert the URL from your browser search bar. I went to the Decatur IL Craig list and could not find the listing.

Looks like somebody scraped the bed, hope they knew what they were doing
. Looks nice though.

The gap doesn't appear to be long enough to be useful.

The gap is actually in place.
If you look closely you can see it,it's about 4" or so wide.
Look for the hint of daylight inside of bed, then follow it across the ways and you will see the joint.

The scraping is very visible by the headstock and less so for the length of the useable bed. I think that is the original, factory scraping.

Looks like the price has been dropped…
Seems like a nice and rare lathe

Another $800 to go. Same guy has a 10k listed that he thinks is worth $2000.

Yeah, I saw that ad a few weeks ago. I half considered it since he's within driving distance but I couldn't swallow the price tag.

I guess lathes must be dirt cheap around you. A 9" gap bed with some tooling for only 1K, yeah right!
Actually, they're not - they're few and far between. But I don't live within three hours of Indianapolis. I'm not sure how much more utility the gap bed adds; trying to remove any meaningful amount of material off a 13" dia. workpiece on a 9" SB may be an exercise in futility. And the tooling is nothing to write home about - a rusty three and four jaw, a drill chuck, a rocker tool post with one holder and a dead center. Pretty much the usual bucketful of detritus that comes with just about any used lathe. The one thing that it does have going for it, is the v-belt pulley headstock.
And the 10k that you're selling, regardless of what may be the original factory cabinet, is still a horizontal drive. Like the 9", it's biggest selling point is the v-belt headstock. The chuck without jaws, drill chuck, live center, and rocker tool post don't constitute much in the way of tooling for $1849.
Unless the small SBL market has exploded over the past few months, I think you're being overly optimistic. I'll be delighted and astonished if you actually get your prices, as I've got a small SBL to sell in the upcoming months.
Looks like it on ebay now with no reserve
