Can any one help with the serial number of my lathe? I had a look on the lathes.co.uk site but the number that I have on my lathe , I presume that it is the correct number , does not match those in the site.
Here is a pick of the number:

Sorry for the bad quality of the lathe pic will take a nice one next time :

Also where would I be able to find a manual for it I saw some where on the forums that Clausing might be able to mail one , has any done so and to who do we mail?

Best Regards

Paul

Nice little machine. You'll need serial number which is stamped on the front of the v ways at the tailstock end. The number shown in your photo isn't it. From the looks if it my guess is your machine is late 60's early 70's? Mine is a 1979 with the slightly newer appearance thus my estimate. Clausing is usually pretty good if you have the S/N or you could look up Frank Kleinworth FDK3 co on the net. He will know. Also pretty sure I uploaded a pdf of the Bantam Mk2 to this site.
