Most (all?) of the later Sears/Craftsman lathes in this size category were
made by Atlas so the above manual might be useful to you. The vintage
certainly sounds to be in the right ballpark.

My dad picked up an old lathe for $15. It is missing several parts
including the compound, leadscrew, probably threading gears,
handwheels, etc. I think it's an Atlas from pictures on the net but
it's not exactly the same model. There is a gear change plate that
mentions the year 1933. Does anyone have a picture and/or model info?
I think it's probably 10" swing.
Thanks,
Randy


Thank you very much. It looks like a perfect match except for the
legs.
