Rob,
Tony has a lot of information on the original Unimats - http://www.lathes.co.uk/unimat/index.html
Despite his comment that they are 'common' my experience is that they are rarely available and go for serious money, or at least I think so.
The modern ones are entirely different and much more conventional.
My advice would be to go and look at one and see if you think it's suitable for what you want. They are very small.
