I believe this has some potential....I've been wrong before though.

If it wasn't in Florida, I'd try and get it..

How much do you like projects?

It looks like a good sturdy lathe - any decent wood lathe has potential.
But, did you notice this is a metal spinning lathe?

These type of duplicators aren't really precise enough for cuemaking
final operations - fine for 'roughing' cuts tho.

It could be made to work - but would likely require as much in $s and
effort as if you just built your own machine.

With all that said - at the current price it is well worth buying.

Whip out that ATM card.
 
Initial appearance is that it is well-done. But this part is a little troubling:

PC Requirements
IBM Compatible
P-100 or faster
32 MB RAM
Windows 3.1, 95, 98, or NT
1 open 9 pin male Serial Port
Microsoft Compatible Mouse

Not even XP?!?

But, yeah, always good to look at different desgns to get new ideas.

My 2 cents,

Gary
