"WILL NOT GO LOWER ON THE PRICE, HAVE SEEN OTHERS SELL, IN EXACT SAME CONDITION FOR UPWARDS OF $7500" BS

There is a good chip out of the drive pulley, who knows what other issues there are. It is a center pulley overhead line shaft machine, unlike the print where he shows the more desirable rear pulley model.
So, just add another $1000 for a 5 or 7.5hp single phase motor, magnetic starter, belting, and steel for a power tower, and you'll be all set.... after you transport it, pour a foundation, raise it up on an oak pad, re-pour the Babbitt, make new bronze c-shaped bushings for the toggle links, fix any broken missing parts, have a new pitman bearing machined, build a jack shaft to slow your 1740rpm motor down, put fresh leather on the brake, and reassemble it... then you'll really have somethin.
