I found this listing for $25. Too far from my home but in researching it I discovered it is rare but not unknown. I really like the class of tools marketed or chosen by individuals attempting to bring machining into the small home shop. These were sold out of Popular Mechanics rebadged by "The Gerold Company" as the "Wade Lathe". Castings are Aluminum. Carriage has power feed with reversing and gear change for threading. Spindle is reported to be 5/8-14 British. The tailstocks are square stock with center turning point. These can be turned and threaded for female threaded accessories. There are a couple of YouTube Videos if you search for "Wade Lathe". Searches of CAV Lathe or C.A.V Lathe (machine, tools, etc) might produce more info for you. See more home machine shop content from me as YouTube's "Crafted Channel". Information gathered from various sources.
