Tony at lathes.co.uk has a manual, and photos and other info you might want. The package ain't cheap, but it's not just the operating manual, either.? Thingiverse has stuff for it, too.?

I did not look at ebay at all. Too much overpriced chinese garbage there nowadays. But I will go now and look as they obviously have something usable there.?
It is a Compact 5. There is a Sears model on ebay for $800. Identical. Also using "Emco Compact 5" for an ebay search, I found several manuals. Some reprints for way too much money and I did come across what appears to be an actual Sears manual.
