Help identifying small lathe

[David Walker 16Participant @davidwalker16]

I have just purchased this small lathe and need some help in identifying the make and model. I would like to get it back to original spec.

overall length is aprox 17″, between centres 8″. The faceplate is 4″ dia and runs in a gap. I assume a 3 jaw chuck would be 3″ in dia. It looks like it had gears for traverse and maybe screwcutting.

It has similar looks to the Perris Lathe, forerunner to the Cowell Lathes

Thank you Michael it is indeed the SL90 version. Looks like a decent machine. Now need to do some investigating to find gear sizes etc.

once again many thanks
