I would say 5 grand plus whatever it costs to move it. If you are in the rust belt it would be cheaper, more expensive in California or pacific NW

He's not looking for mystical answers, but a practical one, like what I said. All that jazz that a fair price is what a willing seller and a willing buyer agree upon is fine and dandy but it does not help him to figure out if he can even start the conversation.
Brian start thinking 5 grand and work from there. For an additional 25k I will swear to your wife it is worth more than your family home

Y'all are missing the point! How much can he reasonably tell his wife this is a screaming great deal!?! He needs a wife like mine. When I was talking to my friend about buying his restoration project Heavy 10L, she took the phone, and told him he couldn't sell it to me. She was buying it for my Christmas present. She's seen me fix stuff before. I'm not afraid of a bit of work. And he'd like one ready to use, for it'll be more than the $950 she paid for mine. I'm thinking around $3K in spiffy shape and with all the goodies for a 10K. ;) Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live by: SEMPER GUMBY! Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome.

I'm cheaper, it will only cost him a grand! ;) EVERYBODY needs a nice South Bend lathe. Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.)

$5000 for a 10K? I'm thinking more like $2000 around here on Long Island. When I was looking for a SB13 about 2 years ago, I looked at a mint condition, late model Heavy 10, came with everything one could think of. 5C collets in standard, metric, Hex, square, multiple chucks in 3 and 4 jaw, Aloris tool post, holders, taper attachment, ect. The guy was asking $2800, probably would have taken $2500.

Do all bear in mind that if the taper turning attachment and collets are original to the lathe, it is classed as a toolroom model.

Well, look at his description of what it comes with. I can see all day naked 10k lathes for about 2k. The taper attachment fluctuates wildly in price from as low as 500 to more than 1000 and so forth.
Budget 5k and then look at how to reduce that price. You might have a nice surprise.
Budget 2k and you might have to wait years before the "right" lathe shows up with all the tooling, in that price range.

I looked at it. I still say wildly overpriced for my area. I bought a Toolroom 9A with 4’ bed about 7 years ago, collets, taper attachment, yada yada, no milling attachment for $450. I even got the original paperwork and the receipt from 1947 for the 2.5” thick butcher block top the owner had made for it. This lathe has very little wear, looks like it was barely used. Still wears its original paint. The only thing I did to it was put in new felts, the thrust bearing conversion and serpentine belt.

I would say that that sounds like a lot for a 10k. Let’s not overdo things here. It’s a nice lightweight lathe, but limited. Even all that tooling isn’t really worth much when bought with the lathe.

What is the condition? Someone brought up flaking, or properly, scraping. Most 10Ks weren’t scraped, so that means little. How worn is the bed> if you can find a “roof” at the top of the V ways with a fingernail, then it’s worn. If it’s obvious, then it’s well worn. How about the spindle? Is there a lot of play in the cross feed and compound? Can you pull them back and forth? Without knowing any of this, without even getting test bars and 0.0001” indicators on it, it could be worth anywhere from $600 to $4,000. The high part of that gets you a decent 10L Heavy, possibly with flame hardened ways, with a chuck or two and some tooling. Most people never use a follower rest, or even a steady rest. Mel

I’m going to weigh in here as I have a 1975 10K. I bought it two years ago from the original owner. It has scraping marks all along the bed.

Came on a massively built custom built wood stand.
Didn’t have the number of accessories is the OP listed but I only paid $1200 in the PNW. So if the lathe in question is $5K it had better be absolutely mint condition.

Six years ago bought a very nice college shop, hardened bed SB 13" with tooling as described for the 10K, plus Bridgeport with brand new Kurt vice, Mitutoyo DRO, Yuasa rotary table, and lots of other misc tooling for $5k. Both machines clean with minor wear, late 1950's. This was Los Angeles area.
All my SB 9 inchers, included one like the OP's were under $1k. John |

It doesn’t make a big difference but do you mean 6K Collett‘s, not 3C? Payson. |
