Pittler lathes information needed

[vic neweyParticipant @vicnewey60017]

Has anyone got a Pittler lathe who can take a measurement for me? I need the diameter of the circular carriage block that the cross-slide bracket swivels on (and some of the attachments are fitted). Mine is 78mm, measured across the clamp of it's traveling steady.
I want to see if there is a similarity or a wide variation as I'm seeking other attachments which may or may not fit.

I'm particularly looking for the original supplied cross-slide, the type on a vertical stem that can be swiveled in all directions. Mine has the extra long compound slide mentioned in old ME magazines by George Gentry but it does not permit the multiple angles of the original

Not really, it does not give measurements other than distance between centres
