Saw this lately.

Thought it was a wood lathe but it has a tool holder.

Guy wants a $100 for it.

Offer 10, settle on 25. For a hundred you can -if you scratch- find a decent Emco (I saw two-fer-125 recently) or even better stuff. Yah, you'll look for a while. If you do, you'll actually have a lathe.
 
Unless you have a specific purpose for this lathe like polishing long work pieces, I would pass on buying it.

Just the effort the clean it up is a bad investment if it's an odd brand of lathe without any value. Find an old South Bend to restore and you will be better off, in my opinion.
