Well, you never know what is around the corner, on a Saturday 15th December 2018 at a party for some of our neighbours at our house one of the guests Steve was interested in the Model Live Steam Locomotives in the house. After explaining about the two trains I show him my watch repair workshop, where he said he has a small lathe in the shed which he has not used, and would I like it!
Yes please was my reply.

On the Monday following the party Steve arrives with a lathe in a bag, taking it out of the Bag the dirty Lathe is all there, just needs to be lovingly stripped down and rust removed and cleaned.

The Lathe is stripped down in the afternoon, it turns out the Lathe is a Unimat SL 1000 model. Later that evening I download the manual and parts list.

The next day I start the cleaning process, Degrease the main parts of Lathe and clean, the rest of the metal parts are left overnight in the rust remover fluid tray.
