And what a project it would be. The head, tool post and tail stock all jacked up on blocks.
Call this one the run out express, My Cal-OSHA inspector would have a major stroke over the drive end of that thing.

Naw. It's all good, see the expanded mesh guard in front of the cone pulley!

Those are precision blocks carefully selected from the trash bin.

The word kill spray painted on the poster on the wall leads me to think this lathe must be located in CHOP

I know of a few scrap yards that could handle that job with no problem.

Um. If located in Seattle, one might be at personal hazard to complete the transaction.
It WAS a charming place. I've been there when there was Rule of Law.

Decent hand wheels and the crank is nice, that alone at leaft $25 in value..
The rest you could melt down and cast some really nice stuff..bet cha could sell that all that stuff for $100,000 if you made the right thing..
$100,025 for $500...that is a deal.
Good chance there are some HSS tool bits around the lathe she might throw in for free...
Sell them on Ebay for anothe ten bucks.. $100,035.00

Sort of like so but older. This Le Blond is not a lot younger than 1911. This (and the one above) are the "regular", not Heavy Duty Le Blonds
Its not like it was "saved" - its just stuck in long term neglect - like maybe not run since way back
