So you DO reverse the spindle if you want to spindle to run in reverse.
What the seller is talking about is unrelated to the spindle...he's talking about the stuff that runs off the leadscrew and how the carriage feed direction is changed.
The seller is obviously proud of that lathe....no one on Earth would pay $45K for a lathe of that size and shape unless it were the last one on Earth. You can buy a hundred lathes in better shape for less. I like the lathe, but...
Let's not forget, too, that parts would be all but unavailable and anything that broke would need to be made by you using you other lathe....
