new member looking for bit of help and advice

hi i was wondering if anyone could help me, i recently decided to buy a lathe thinking it would be help full for many of my little projects, i've never owned or used a lathe before, i purchased one second hand hoping by doing this i could get it and be ready to go,unfortunately it hasn't worked out that way and having done some research the lathe has been modified to suit the old owner and had some of the feature i was exspecting have been removed,wish i would've researched before hand instead of jumping straight in, here's where i need some help i carn’t afford to buy a new lathe and wouldn't feel right selling it on, so i'm gonna try make the best out of a bad situation, i would like some detailed pictures of a super relm lathe so i can see exactly what is missing, and try get it running in a way where it helps me, i've googled it and searched but i don't seem to be having much luck finding anything with detail that can help me restore it to a usable state thanks in advance for any help nickyj

Hi Nicky

Search in your browser for

Lathes.co.uk

All makes and models there for you to look at and compare.

Welcome to the forum.

Here's a direct link.:

I doubt that a manual as such ever existed for the Super Relm.

Pop some photos in your album and that will help folks see what the issues are.

Welcome to the forum Nicky. Post some pictures and some of us may be able to see what bits are missing from your Lathe?
