I updated the thread because I forgot to mention this machine cuts INCH, METRIC and MODULE threads.

Lathe is still around. I would take 3500 if someone is interested
I am quite surprised as well. Any less than $3500 and I’ll just keep it. Such and amazing machine. My guess is not hobby size and most people don’t know about Ikegai.I'm amazed that the lathe is still availible.
In SoCal the most worthless POS are listed for more then that and sell too.
If I was closer I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I guess the downside is it's not the ideal hobby/garage size machine. And there's not many people left who know how to use a lathe that size anymore.
Footprint 40x128Any chance you could measure total footprint of the lathe?
What is the spindle bore size?
And total weight of the lathe?
Oh, and voltage? 230V or?
Thanks for any answers and help!
I’m going to see if I could get it shipped on the same truck (never unloaded/reloaded until arrival) for less than $2,000.

Does it have a taper attachment?Footprint 40x128
Pretty sure 220v
Weight around 6000-6500
Spindle bore 1.82” probably 1.75 stock
No taper attachmentDoes it have a taper attachment?
No knowledge of any issues except one of the handles is broken with a previous weld. Easy fix just haven't gotten to it. Just the straight metal handle not a cast one. Lathe was in use when the owner died. I am fairly certain the ball screw is just for the feeds. I will take the cover off and show you when I am at the shop later today, I will also show the handle. Unsure about the oiling system.More questions:
On lathes.co.uk their description (unless I'm misunderstanding) makes it sound like the ball screw does both threading and feeds???? Videos I've seen of this same model show a feed rod, the ball screw and the lower rod (reverse or spindle on/off) like a normal lathe . Just making sure; the ball screw is just for threading, right? If it isn't too much to ask, maybe you could show a pic with the sheetmetal removed so I can see the lead screw, feed rod, etc?
I also wondered about the oiling system. I always have to refurbish those; just wondering if it looks like it was working recently.
Also, any knowledge of damaged gears, casting cracks or noisy spindle bearings?
Thanks again.
OK, I'm out.No taper attachment
Totally forgot to take more pictures at the shop on Friday. I might be by the shop today but if not today tomorrow for sure.More questions:
