I use the popular East German Hobbymat MD65 Lathe still plenty available and spare parts on the popular auction sites.
There are quiet a few Youtube videos to watch on this lathe to get a feel for it.

I bought mine secondhand with a slection of tools, chucks etc. Expect to pay £200-400 depending on condition and what is included.
Good Luck
