I saw this Myford turret attachment on ePay today.

I wonder if anyone could enlighten me on the functionality of this,
does the lever rotate the turret maybe?
I have not seen this type before, only the type which mounts in the
tail stock, and is completely manual.

Hello Sorry to disappoint you but the lever moves the pin that locates
one of the positions on the turret, when you slacken the locking lever
on the top and rotate the turret by hand then re-lock the top clamp
lever. If you are looking to set up for repetition work and you have
the space I have a Hardinge Chucker lathe with an eight position
turret which is far more accurate and not much more money than this
turret unit on Ebay .Cheers Colin

Sorry, but I'm not interested in your lathe, Colin. :)
But in the picture I posted, there are two pins sticking out the
left(ish) side,
but I can't tell if both are actuated by the lever.
And what about the lever on the top, is that to lock the turret?
I'm just curious really, I don't think I will need it.

Likely the one is the pin that locks the turret, the other is the
plunger that applies spring pressure to keep the turret locked.

Please log in for more thread options --Wow that's a good price; if I were you I'd snag it! I've got one
and yes I do use it for production on occasion. This, plus the collet closer
and you're in business in a small way. Yes, the bottom lever engages a
locking pin to position each face; the lever on top tightens the
turret once moved.
--The only problem with the turret is the size of the chuck mounting
holes; maybe 5/8", IIRC. I had to make some strange 'interface' pieces to
get mine to a state of usefulness. Here's a link to a few photos:
