Craftsman Commercial Lathe

My guess would be sell it around $600 to $700 dollars depending on weather or not it is single phase or 3 phase. Most actions I attend single phase lathes bring more money because the average do it yourself home machinist doesn't have 3 in his home some and if he was to buy or build a phase converter he could buy a newer model single phase lathe. Those older lathes are tuff and much better made than modern machines today. One thing to determine when purchasing a older lathe is knowing if parts are still available and if not can you make alot of your own parts. I run a 1941 model South Bend Lathe everyday for a living and other than keeping it oiled and belts changed it works great.
