Yes. here is the pic, Bill.?
The badge says Emco Compact 5 but the seller offered it as?Sears Craftsman 549-289000 because it is what his manual stated. Unfortunately, he did not have the manual anymore, or at least could not find it to hand it over.?
I could not find the Sears manual for part number he offered. I also searched under Compact 5, but the closest I came to it was a Emco 8 manual, which is clearly not it.
Now I just need to buy a 0XA tool post for it, and if I find a manual i will go through the parts list to figure out what else is missing (probably all the change gears for threading).

Have you got any photos of the lathe? I used the Brave browser search, and got a link that says it's an Emco Compact 8, if that helps any.?
If it's a Compact 5, I HATE YOU!!!!? ;) That's the little lathe that I kept finding in a department store in Germany whenever I was there, and couldn't get the money to buy it.?
Bits and pieces for the Compact 8 are expensive on ebay, but they are a FINE little lathe. So is the Compact 5. I finally found a Unimat, which is also a fine little lathe, late last year. Wound up with two of them, trading
off my HF Mini-Lathe for them.?
Bill in OKC? ?<----no luck at all! ;)

Physics doesn't care about your schedule. The only reason I know anything is because I've done it wrong enough times to START to know better. Expect in one hand, expectorate in the other. See which one gets full first.

Guys, where can I find a manual for this tiny lathe?
It is a 5" metal working lathe, made in Europe but sold by Sears under the Craftsman badge.?
Any help would be appreciated.?
Thanks,
Andrei
