I just got off the phone with SBL and I learned that my SB Precision Lathe
Model A was originally shipped Jan 13, 1941. I ordered the manual for it for
$25.00 (we'll see if its the correct one). They also said parts are
available for it, but I'll bet they aren't cheap. Anyway, the URL for SBL
parts is:

http://www.southbendlathecorp.com/parts.htm

and the phone number is 800-525-2843. They are very pleasant and helpful.
Just give them a call. I'll let the group know about the manual when it
arrives ;-)
