Mr. Chips,
Great purchase! I just happen to have the same lathe! Mine is in great working condition, and I have the Manual for the lathe. I will check when I get home as to the exact model that I have but if the parts list or manual would help you out I would be happy to scan it and send you the pdf! I want to say that my lathe which looks exactly like the one you have was manufactured in the 50's and is an Atlas which you can still find parts for. I have kept mine for sentimental reasons, it belonged to my dad and he had it in an old wooden desk, with the drawers lined with foam where all the tooling is kept. I use it, mostly for turning dowels, odds and ends. I have thought of parting with it for the room, and maybe to someone who would actually use it more (I have another one so there is no real reason to keep other than the memories of my old man working on it) than I do. Anyway, I will check on the model number and I would be more than happy to copy the manual for you if you would like!
Regards,
