I'll add to what I've already said.....Folks have mentioned weather damage to the electronics. The only electronics on that lathe is the motor. It's a reeves drive which is a device that is used with a lever to change speeds. That has a belt and pulleys.

You mentioned 6 or so tools. They may or may not have value. The lathe was made in the 1970's. That's when I had mine. If the tools came with the lathe they are no doubt carbon steel with not much value. If they were purchased later and are high speed steel they are worth over $200.
