In addition to the things mentioned in the video you may also want to consider:
1. Condition of the electrics
2. Condition of the motor (i.e. noise)
3. Backlash and condition of topslide/compound slide screws.
My #Myford #ML7 #lathe condition was a complete unknown and I thought time to establish what wear and play there was.
The Maid of Kent 5" #Steam #Loco build is still running, just waiting for some materials and have another episodes half filmed already! Take care!
