Unless the newer ones are different, they are solid ways/slides, not rollers. The only ball bearings are in the rotary/pivoting mechanism and of course the spindle and the workhead.
It's not a bad looking machine at all, and price is very reasonable. I already have one though, sorry. Out of curiosity, what's covered in the service manual?

The Monoset operator manual gives some general description of uses but the machine is capable of much more. Once one is handy with Tc grinding it is almost a do-anything machine. Drills, for instance, you just set your point angle by 12 clearance, gash across, and then butterfly upward to the next click in the index.

Good also to download the Cincinnati #2 operator manual to see other TC grinding methods, many that can be used on the Monoset.
Often you just hand dress an angle to a wheel if it is not very important. The tall dresser shown in the accessories can dress accurate shapes and a radius to the wheel.

It doesn't appear to need "Rebuilding", and I didn't read that in the OP's description either.
Full disclosure: I bought this at auction because it was loaded with collets and tooling and I was missing swivel stops for the one I'm rebuilding. Since buying this I picked up more collets and another set of swivel stops to add back to this machine. On my machine I used ER40's with the adapter sleeve that works fine but I also wanted the original collets. I did keep some extra index plates, a 3 jaw chuck, and the optional large cutter attachment it came with, (will probably never use it but nice to have I guess). Came to me 440 and I switched it to 220, cleaned it up some, ran it, tightened up some gibs and it seems to run fine. I shot video of spindle running and turning handwheels.

You probably just need to wait till that low priced one on E-bay gets bought, then drop your price there and it should sell.
It has some tooling but it's an older model with no motor on the workhead. Still worth it though.

I know your's is better, but some people just see price. I had a friend that bought and sold low end cars, boats and a few other items pre-Ebay. His stuff was by far the worst in the class he was selling but also the lowest priced, he turned crap quick.
Monoset is still available

What has happened?
A while back in this condition $10,000, now you can not give them away and they go to the scrap yard.

Last month in NY Bidspotter bid price on one was $4000. The cabinet with tooling and some wheels bid for $1700. Rack with more wheels-$1300. Add 18% buyers premium. Couple months ago, a midwest auction had 3. The last one bid was $3600. No tooling, no motor for the workhead.
