how much mony would something like that need to be funtional? I have seen a few mills and a few large lathes up here going around 500-1500$ in that general condition although some appeard funtional lol I have wanted to get a small lathe and a mill for a while now but I cant find anything that is worth fixing and the cost of anything new from what I seen I would need a damn loan to buy

I don't know the answer to your question, but you may try http://www.owwm.com It's a site dedicated to old woodworking machines but I do know that a bunch of the guys have metal working equipment too. At least they may be able to direct you to the right sorce.
