Hi all, my son's grandpa showed up a couple days ago with an old heavy lathe on a trailer asking if I had a use for it. He is an incredible scrounger and come up with all manner of gems.
I don't know if this is a gem or a lump of coal.
Cast in the base is Roster MACH CO.

It doesn't look like it has any power feed to it. It does have several screws pokeing out the back that I assume is for setting different depth cuts?
Is this worth keeping? I'm thinking that there isn't much to start with. It would need a chuck. It doesn't have any cross table of any kind. It only goes in and out.
Thoughts?
The wife isn't too pleased about it sitting in the driveway when I still haven't finished our windmill.
