Thankyou everyone who gave me advice on lathe's etc especially Gav.
Still not moved into my new house but collecting tools ready. I finaly got my Lathe. Its a Smart & Brown 9" Precision Lathe Model SAB ( im gessing its a Sable )
I havent any change gears but im not sure if it needs them as there seems to be loads of ways to change the speeds etc. I am missing the chuck not sure what size, also a 4 jaw chuck & faceplate.
When I went to look at the lathe it was covered in grime, starting up the rear pully system was knocking and looked a mess, got it back to my brothers cleaned it up, oil'ed everything and set it running, knocking gone & alot nicer now. The nebough is a modle maker so got him to look over it, everything seems nice apart from the cross slide, there is a little wear, not much but center runs nice and outer edges just get a little tighter, not alot though.
Some pic's of it, also anyone with spairs or information please contact me.
