I've run across a Seabastian 12×72 .....it looks rough but complete and not damaged beyond Grampas barn for 30 yr . It's belt drive no motor , it has a slide guide pillow block loose that I can see in the poor pics . It has some tooling with it . At least a 3&4 jaw chuck and 1 spider/live center frame structure . I know zip about lathes . I know I don't like making expanders and sizer anvils on a drill press but I do and they aren't terrible .
Assuming that it is sound and the visible orange haze is just haze . Is it worth $300 to resurrect it if I have a mentor and a knowledgeable proxy to go look at it ? Yeah I know 1 chipped gear and it might be a $300 anchor hence a knowledgeable proxy .
