I don't know the lathe but I have used Picador bearings and plummer blocks. As far as I know Picador Engineering still exist in Grimsby - they may be able to give you detailed in formation on the lathe. I think they used to sell kits for the home construction market

Why i am asking is that i picked up a few tools that i bought off ebay, and some picador parts are in with them so i was curious as all the parts had the Picador name and part number on them. So when i searched to see what it was i found this drawing... :bwink:
