I am looking at this lathe, by all accounts its a good make and the lathes are well engineered, appreciate parts are scarce being 50 years+ old but willing to gamble that items can be made if required.
There were a few models and I'm keen to ensure its metric thread cutting and metric calibration on dials and has the gearbox to do this not having to use change wheels. can anyone tell from the pics which model it is I've been told its a MLZ4S which is supposedly the metric screw cutting gearbox version but having looked at pictures on the web I'm not convinced. It also has a complete set of change wheels which also adds to my doubting mind.
Any pointers?
