A cast base and frame is best, but if all you are going to turn is plugs, a formed/tubular base lathe works just fine, IMHO.
Jigman has the latter. I have turned plugs on it and it does a great job. Grizzly sells both, starting at about $140.00.

cast iron delta

looks like a( 700 brand new) DeLTA with a set of buck turning tools for 50.00
so the whole rig will cost me 2 bills... i think its a good buy.
