Found this forum and have an old 3 in 1 I bought used in the late '90s for a project. It has sat covered for many years but I am intent on resurrecting and de-rusting it. Ran it to cut a groove for my son's 'water rocket launcher' and it worked great!
From ShopMaster's website it appears I have a 12-22TC but it could be a Smithy knock-off:

Once I get at building my 18" gauge railroad around the property I plan to make parts for others and maybe I can then justify trading in the old machine on a new ShopMaster!
I think I actually bought it from ShopTask (as ShopMaster was then known) as I seem to remember it coming from Las Vegas and I also seem to recall they had a 'buy-back' policy for upgrades, hmmm....
Funny I can find every receipt for every tool I've bought since I was 16 but can't find the receipts for the lathe!
