Also sold as ROMAC CY1640 LATHE I think.

Looks very similar to the one out in my imp shed waiting for installation. These have a 52mm bore.

Don't look at the rust. This was before I picked it up. Also don't look at the cross slide handwheel. A bit of a story covered in my "New Lathe" thread. Its not original.

I have the manual and parts list in PDF.
