Just noticed there's a Woodfast M400 S lathe on ebay at the moment in Sydney Looks pretty basic and is 415v but if it goes at the the right price , a bit of work could leave someone with a good lathe . Current bid is $5.50 and 3 days to go .
I'de link to it if I knew how but I'me sure you'le find it if your'e interested.

Now if you could all stop bidding on it I might get it for a reasonable price!

The second lathe has no banjo. Can one get a replacement banjo?

Also if you were going to change these over to 240 VS what would be an upper price limit?

The second lathe has no banjo. Can one get a replacement banjo? I think so.

Also if you were going to change these over to 240 VS what would be an upper price limit?I would fit this:CWS Store - Variable Speed Motor | Carroll's Woodcraft Supplies (http://www.cws.au.com/shop/category/-variable-speed-motor) We have 2 lathes fitted with them and I have trouble stopping them unlike some other EVS units.

The only problem may be the pulley bore but a competent machine shop can fix that.

Or some one from the Metalwork Forum.

making a banjo is not a major problem, quite simple really if you have a welder.

Try woodfast themselves for a banjo.
