New to me lathe!

I just picked up an older Sidney Lathe the swing is 12" and between centers
it's only about 18" This thing is a BEAST! I got it on Ebay for under $300, I
couldn't pass it up. Does any body have any idea of where I might find a
manual on this? It's a bit worn but not too bad for being older. I'll put
some pics on my site later. Just had to gloat abit.
Thanks,
Russ
