Default Anyone here have the Craftsman Var. Spd. 351.217.150?

Hey all,

I got one used a while back and am just putting it on a stand and set
up. Haven't used a lathe since HS (that's 30+ yrs) so I've got a lot to
re-learn. Anyway, I'm interested if anyone here has that model and
would be willing to photocopy the manual for me (I'd pay for postage of
course). I got a parts breakdown on sears.com, and they have a manual
that's around $6, which is fair, but I have a problem when they want $8
to mail it. Maybe I'm being too cheap, I dunno, but that just gets in
my craw.

It would also be great if anyone could give me headsups and caveats if
they apply to this machine.

The only problem I've had so far is that the tailstock base won't fit
into the groove on the bed. I may have to take a file to it, but I'm
worried about keeping everything perfectly centered.

Regards,
H
