Default what a typed of lathe can you get

What type of lathe can you get for under $1,000. I have never used one, except a wood lathe. I would like to use if for turning small parts, doing threads, and for sizing shafts for making other tools and the like. I don't really have a good idea of what size you need for what job. I don't know of any used places around here, maybe in philly, and I would like one that doesn't need a lot of work that I don't know how to do to fix it. It would be an adjunct to the metal working I am doing now. thanks for any input.
