$10 Max.
There is no quick change gear box for feeds or single point threading.
It uses flat belts which like to slip.
Where is the chuck?
Also is there a motor provided?
Is that an anvil In the foreground?
The anvil is worth more than the lathe.

So I JUST found out that there will be a pretty sweet auction tomorrow at 5PM, and this lathe is one of the items up for bid. The listing website says it's a rockwell lathe. I have no other info to go one besides the picture. So if anyone can help me out by identifying it so I can do a little research on it, that would be great. I tried contacting the auction house, but no luck, and the auction preview is at 3PM tomorrow, while I'm in class...of course...
HELP, i'd love to know what it is and how much I should expect to pay.
Mods, sorry this is posted in two locations.

well, my current lathemaster 8x14 doesn't have a quick change gearbox either, so that I can live with that as long as it has some method of turning threads.
the chuck is included with the auction along with a full collet set and other accessories. I won't know the extent of what all comes with it until I see it in person.
At this point I'm assuming there is a motor tucked away in there, but i guess I'll find out tomorrow if no one can help me ID it before then.
$10 max only if you have no imagination. The lathe appears to be restored, and is probably built very well. Even if it didn't have a motor or quick-change gearing, it would be a beautiful basis for a CNC conversion project.
indeed! i'm sure it's a step up from my 8X14, but i'd still like to look up some specs on it before going to the auction.
I just spent about an hour doing a Google image search, trying to match up the pic, but came up with nothing. Seems that all the Rockwell lathes I saw had a gear change setup for threading (or were wood lathes, with no carriage at all). But again, with a nice CNC conversion that would be a moot point. Mechanically, it looks like a very solid and capable machine, definately worth taking a good close look at.
yeah, that's the problem I was having. I've spent all night looking for something similar, but no luck.
Hope you're still going to look at it today. Report back!
Yup, i'm still going. I'll report back later tonight.
ok, so I just went and checked it out during the viewing hours, and from a bit more research it looks to actually be a Logan 200. It does have a Rockwell logo on the machine, but from the model number, and all the pictures I have looked at, it seems to be a Logan.
On a side note, I REALLY hope I win this auction. it looks absolutely MINT. I'm not sure it's ever been used before, and to top it all off it comes with a HUGE assortment of parts including a full collet set.
Best of luck!!!! Hopefully everyone else there will think it's only worth $10.
nope someone thought it was worth $740.....I however thought it was worth $750
