Anyone know anything about a Hafco AL100 (My-T-Turn) lathe?

It seems to be a fairly old model and I haven't been able to google anything about it.
[180mm turn over bed, 250mm between centres.]
I've sent a query of to Hare and Forbes just in case they remember it :)

Geoff,
Did you have any luck with finding any info on your lathe?
There is a big gap between the AL-54 and the AL-320 in the H&F catalogue, I know that!
Maybe you could post a pic of it and see it jogs some ones memory here.

Stephen,
No luck at all. I asked Hare and Forbes and they had no information about it.

As it turns out, the bidding got a little spirited and, not being able to find out anything about the lathe, I dropped out.
I ended up buying a brand new AL60 (or the Carbatec equivalent) from another eBay seller. They delivered it (free of charge) yesterday and
I'm in the process of building a bench and getting all the preservative off the lathe.
