84 forum posts 69 photos	Hi All, I have had a good look at the lathe and noticed more differences to all others I can find pictures of, it has a short rack and a different apron to others that and the headstock design plus the number 5 stamped on all parts leads me to believe this was a very early example so possibly quite a rare lathe definitely worth saving.
