Just got back from an estate sale and came away like a bandit. I ended up spending $400 and got:
Jet 6" Long Bed Jointer - JJ-6CSXW
Jet 12/36 Lathe - JWL-1236
7 Hand planes
50+ Akro-Mils Bins
13 Turning Tools
A bunch of clamps (Toggle, Miter, Quick-Klamp), books, magazines, and a bunch of other stuff
Everything is in great shape too, just needed a wipe down. I didn't need a jointer as I just purchased an older 6" Grizzly a couple months ago, but the Jet was toooooo cheap to pass up and I'll sell my Grizzly and actually make money on the swap. I also wasn't thinking about upgrading from my mini lathe, but way too good of a deal to pass up.

I've wiped them down and waxed the cast iron. The lathe has a little bit of a vibration at higher speeds, so I may need to check if the bearings are fine, but other than that, looking forward to putting these to use! Just need to do some shop organization as I now have way too many tools for my garage shop.
Any suggestions as to things I should check on the machines before putting them to use?
