Interested in opinions.

I have an old Record CL1 in blue, with a three speed pulley, which I was going to use in my hopefully soon, extended shed, and whilst it is a good lathe the speed limits are very limiting.

I have just picked up a second hand mc420 air filter and a Charnwood (yes I know) W695 dust extractor form a guy who is also going to sell a Delta variable speed lathe, it seems to run ok and there are no obvious vibrations etc. It looks like the following

Its a chinese mass produced and badged as whatever ie

What are these like in terms of usage if anyone has one, what do I need to look for, and what do you think it should be worth. Its used but looks reasonably well looked after, I was thinking about £100. Am I way out and does it seem reasonable.

Thanks in advance.
