This past weekend I picked up a South Bend Heavy 10 for what I thought was a good deal. It's in what I would call average shape, not mint, but not terrible. It's about what you would expect from something sitting out in a shed. There are only a few spots of surface rust as the thing is covered in grime which protected it from the condensation.
It came with a 3 jaw, 4 jaw, dog plate, and face plate. I'll be looking for some parts as the restoration proceeds, most especially a thread dial, and steady rest.
