I think this is rather high for a lathe like that but if any one is interested I'll drive over and look at it. The Nova chuck and free standing tool rest are probably worth $200.

Depending on the brand, type, and condition of the chisels, the "two sets of cutting tools" could be worth another $50 or several hundreds of dollars (retail).

That would be an excellent spindle lathe with it's 12" swing and long bed. Single phase too. Has the tool rest stand but not sure why you would need it other than as a second banjo. Oliver's are made to last generations rather than years and they have excellent resale value.

If anyone is interested, but it's too long,

I have a 5' long Oliver bed with legs just like that, which I would trade for the longer bed, if your shop just can't afford that much room for a long bed that you may never need.
