I am looking at a 11"x26" made by jet and weighing about 500 pounds. They make one that is 9:x20" that weighs 235 and might be a good fit for you. Jet is a good manufacture. I bought a drill press from them from blue ridge machinery and I love it. Grizzly manufactures also have good lathes that they put there lable on and arent as expensive. You might not be able to get away with getting one for under a grand but it will be close.

Well a friend of mine (87yo machinist) just purchased this lathe for $1,000.00 cost him $500 just to have it moved into his shop from across town. The bed is 20 feet long.
I have no other details than what is seen in the pictures because I got him off on the subject of welding cast iron. (Hard to derail a train of thought like his ;)
