I have the Chinese Mini, then I got the little Sherline, this weekend that just passed I brought home a new friend.
It is a "New Gregco" I believe is around late 1940's. It is Australian made. It was reasonable condition just dirty. I have not fully disassembled it but I have taken apart the slides and cleaned them, cleaned the bed, the gears, the spare gears, the pulleys and the chuck. I also have a 4 jaw chuck aswell.
It is a great little lathe and 70 years old then the Chinese Mini but it's much nicer to work with.

It was pretty dirty

But it came up nice after a few hours cleaning
