Smart looking machine. Price looks on the high side but I don't know what the machine tool market is like in Croatia. By my maths 10,000 euros comes out at about £7300 which is maybe double UK dealer prices. But probably not as nice looking.

OK I'm biased because a 1024 VSL is my daily driver. Not as smart, rode hard and put away wet too often in its past life but still tenths thou accurate. A toolroom lathe of the very highest quality. I rate it above Monarch, CVA et al because its much simpler machine so less to go wrong and less to wear out. That said not having a spindle clutch may drive you nuts as may the single apron clutch system serving both longitudinal and cross power feeds. Still sometimes forget to turn the knob! Vastly stronger and more durable than a Hardinge of course. The one major omission is an automatic threading / feed stop. Almost a deal breaker for me until I finally accepted that a Holbrook was too heavy to shift. One day I shall sort out an electrical substitute.
That is an imperial machine. No issues for normal work with dual reading dials and a DRO but you will need to arrange a conversion set-up for metric threading. Looks like you have most of the gears but I don't see the special intermediate gear stud officially needed to carry the conversion gears. Not a deal breaker. I can do you drawing if you want to make your own. But its complete pain to use. I figured out a much easier, permanently mounted, substitute for my metric machine. So far as I can see it would work on an imperial one too. My version looses a couple of BA and module threads from the official list though.
Also appear to be missing the headstock centre. Mine came with an un-split 5C collet with MT 3 bore for the usual MT shank centre.
Headstock "taper" is 5C female so collet work is easy and accurate. For that price I'd expect a full set of 5C collets thrown in, imperial by 1/64 th and metric by 0.5 mm which I have.
I don't like the cross-slide DRO installation as it seriously reduces effective tailstock barrel travel on short and especially collet work. There is about 4 1/2", 110 mm of well supported travel available and I've used most of it at times.
Just listened to the video and compared sound with mine. I think the audio gain on the video is set very high. Same sort of sound as mine but much, much louder so I don't think there is anything mechanically wrong.
