You can pick up some half sensible used lathes but they will always need work. If the guy is not mechanically minded then old is not the way to go as they can be a right tosser to work on at times. He probably better off looking at a warco or something like that.
I was thinking more the reasons for using a lathe are almost purely mechanical, whether you’re screwcutting or replicating parts.
