Old Colchester Lathe rebuild.

[Dytodesign]

Hi I am after some help with rebuilding an old antique Colchester Lathe.
I says it is a Master 6 Lathe but I am unsure of the year.
Also need photos or diagrams of gear train drive on end of headstock. I found the serial number but still unsure of its year.

I wonder if it's September 1877?
Have you looked at Vintagemachinery.org they have lots of machine pictures and literature. Also http://www.lathes.co.uk/colchester/#google_vignette

That looks like maybe one from the beginning of Colchester.
