It appears that you're in or near Georgia.
(I found the lathe you're describing on your local craigslist).
If you're willing to drive to FLA, then maybe
you'd want to consider another Sears/Atlas lathe with
6" swing and 18" bed, reduced from $1100 to $350.
seller is Ed Lips 941-627-5681, he's in Pt Charlotte FL.
I have no interest in this item.
Good luck!

Subject: [Shop-talk] Sears Atlas lathe
There's a Sears Atlas lathe for sale locally. From the pictures, it
looks like an overgrown bench lathe sitting on a wood cabinet. Nothing
like the Monarchs I usually keep my eye out for. And he wants $900--you
can usually find CKs for $1500-ish. On the price alone, I'd rather
spend twice that and drive for a nice(r) Monarch.
But it's local, and I understand these things used to be popular, and
what do I know? Is it worth going to look at? It's an Atlas 618 or
Sears 101.214.
