Since both Axminster and ArcEuro list vertical slides as accessories for the C1 - and they look identical in the catalogues - even the colour - I would think that would be a reasonable starting point. I think you'll find quite a limited choice that will fit the C1. Most vertical slides on offer are for lathes of about 3 1/2 inch centre height such as the various offerings from Myford, Boxford etc. Provided that the vertical slide you fancy is of a size suitable for your lathe, then the only question will be how to mount it and adaptor plates are easy enough to design and make.

John,
 
Since no-one else has bothered replying, try Arc Euro Trade. They advertise one at £60. Probably plus all the usual addons.
 
You could also try the other importers to see if they sell the same or similar lathe, eg Warco, Chester, Amadeal, Axminster (£74.50) etc.
 
Regards,

If the ones available don't suit, you could build your own, keep it in the correct propportion for your lathe. Ian S C

I'd have thought that the vertical slide from Arc Euro at £60 was a good buy john.
