Thanks, that page didn't work yesterday but is readable now.
I don't think hobby lathes were common here as I've never seen a Myford. I did own a hobby-grade Atlas once (for a day or so) but it had pot-metal gears and rattled like a Ford model T so I gave it back. I could do better work with my Unimat. I guess most people here bought small South Bends but I'm sure they were expensive.
