I spotted it on ebay and can't figure out what it is.

Seems to be made of proper castings, not a bodge job by any stretch of the imagination

The item number is 261042262844

Anyone know?

Interesting that the lathe overall looks the same but the headstock bearing cap is reversed (bolts and oil hole front to back)

The ebay one looks much more like the Gamages version in the print at the bottom of the page. An interesting little lathe.

I'm surprised that a lathe has the brains to be curious……
