Picked up a Logan Turret Lathe on Craig's list for 150.00. Mostly rebuilt and painted. Has a 5C collet changer and a 3 jaw chuck also. Who's a happy guy?

I saw one of these not long ago for about 19 bucks and was going to buy it, but for the life of me can't find the link. If anyone has a link to a machinist ruler with a bubble level on top, please clue me in.
Thanks much,

I got a very special cue that needs a walnut burl or highly figured piece of walnut crotch for a handle. Please PM me if you have some or know where I can purchase some.

I need a brass insert to make a new shaft for a Viscotti cue. The pin looks something like a uni-loc, but I don't think it is a uni-loc, as a maint. pin for uni-loc does not fit. Any help or information would be appreciated.
