Saw this on my downtime at work kinda made me scratch my head a bit. When I think fully rebuilt lathe this isn't what pops into my head lol.
I would of thought that with the flood of ok quality Chinese machine tools used 1440 and below lathes the prices would kinda drop the prices when it came to older lathes unless it was sought after brand named lathe. Colchester and monarchs 10EE and the likes
I remember when I bought my first lathe around 2014ish I was shopping for 1440 sized lathes seemed like there was lots available for 1500-3000$ and now there is still deals to be had but I've seen some pretty out there prices last few years lol.
