So I picked this up today (along with many other things) from a guy that's selling off his father-in-law's woodworking collection as his health has gone downhill. I've always wanted to get into turning and although I don't have the cash right now to pick up a larger one, I wanted to start small and I figured this one would be just fine for me to begin on.

It's a Mini Klein Design by Bonnie Klein. I don't know the year as all of my searches haven't had much info on this particular mini lathe, but it runs very smooth and true and came with a ton of extras, including a few chucks, calipers, etc. and a set of Diamic turning tools. I looked up the tools and found that they seem to be pretty good quality, but I don't know anything about turning though, so I could be wrong.
Anyways, I paid $40 for everything, which I'm very happy about. Does anybody have any details on this mini lathe?
