Just in case the others didn't turn you off on this deal... I had a comparatively high-dollar Smithy 1220 for a short while several years back. About the only thing it was good at was turning, and that was a royal pain as the carriage had no traversing wheel. It had a crank on the end of the leadscrew which required about 10,000 revolutions to move 3". That said, it was a pretty decent lathe, but short on centers and not extremely stout due to the tall compound setup. The mill feature is a JOKE. There is no way to keep the head in place if you have to raise it. It swivels around the column and you have to figure a way to get it back to zero or screw up your slot. That's nothing compared to the new vocabulary you will learn the first time the cutter grabs and snatches that head around on the round column, breaking the endmill, ruining the work, and blowing your setup all at the same time. The drill press is OK if you are regularly working pieces under 1" tall, because that is about all the room you have once you get a drill chuck and vise on the machine. Ditto the setup problems if you have to use a short center drill and change out to a longer drill for the hole. For not much more money, you can probably locate a well used Bridegport or other real mill. Even a worn out mill of this type will be FAR superior to that 3in1.
