[quote=Keith Marshall] I've seen the info on www.lathes.com but there isn't much detail about
the drive system, nor what tapers this lathe employs. Can any one the
forum direct me to a source of info on this lathe so I can see what the
drive train is supposed to look like?

Try this:

There's a link for "Drive Systems" that might help.

Yes, that is the link I was referring to. There aren't many good pics or diagrams of a stock drive system. It also doesn't refer to what tapers are used in the head and tail stocks.
