It's a very old lathe, which my Grandad has had for 50-60 years (He thinks he got it new around 1940-1950's), and was last used about 20 years ago. My technical knowledge of lathes is very limited. All it says is "Colchester Master 6 1/2" ", it's blue, and supported in 2 places (the middle bit is open). It has the auto feed, gears inside the housing are sparkling, in lubricant, but a lot of surface rust everywhere.
I'm yet to find a picture of it on the internet which is exactly like it, this one comes close >
Colchester master lathe 1940s to early 1950s
But it has some different labels, and some levers and nobs are a little different.
Here's some pictures of it (Google photos) >

Anyone know rough value? Or any web page for manuel's and info?
Thanks
