Smart and brown Scapstan lathe

[Tractor manParticipant @tractorman]

Hi all. Local tool dealer has a small smart and brown capstan lathe with part off slide and tailstock as well as six station capstan.
It’s a three speed flat belt and needs bench mounting and a motor. The dealer is closing and if it’s not gone in a month it will go in the melting pot. He’s asking a couple of hundred quid but may come down a bit.
If anyone fancies a nice restoration project drop me a line and we can discuss buying it.

It looks like an L1 precision lathe with collet closer chuck and capstan unit so a nice machine, I'm struggling to justify yet another project or I'd snap it up.
