hi i purcashed a little joey ,,4" made in england about 1950 i got it at my town auction they have every yearup at the oval ,,i think i paid $110 ,,i took it home and cleaned it right up now it works well it only basic lathe the the guy used to make ,,,i did see somewhere that he did make some change gears and a few other little extras before he was bought out by a big company ,,, i can only live in hope ,,,you lathe looks to be in good condition and also comes with a work bench it sits on ,,i think its a good deal,,,,if you keep thinking about it you could miss out and you may kick yourself good luck buy it regards oldbiker
