Where to find a Sebastian H-model manual

[Shotgun]

There used to be a Yahoo group for Sebastina lathes, but that isn't a thing anymore. I need a manual for the H-Model I just brought home. Any leads?

There is one for a type H listed on ebay right now for $34...

I don't think this is for my lathe, but very interesting nonetheless.

I had seen that one before, but the picture doesn't match. There is an extra rod under the apron that my lathe doesn't have. It's not a case of the rod missing, because the ways doesn't have a hole to bolt the support to. I also don't have the clutch, which is what I think this is for.

This page:

has some Sebastian Lathe documents, not all have the model letter in the title, but maybe you'll get lucky!

EDIT: something funny going on..... that link above is actually for the Sheldon company, but lists Sebastian lathes.

This one is for Sebastian Lathe Co. Cincinnati, OH; Covington, KY, U.S.A

Most or at least many of the lists that were on Yahoo Groups moved to groups.io in 2018 or 2019. . I would look for the group there. Try the same name as the old group first, except for the Yahoo part.

Looks like there are quite a bit of posts on the Sheldon lathe board on groups.io
Note that Sheldon bought out the Sebastion Lathe company.
