I have just purchased an old FEJOTH 12"x36" gear head lathe Model FI-900AG, the date stamp is 1987.3
I am hoping to find a manual and Parts breakdown for it. In searching the internet it seems to be the same lathe as Enco Model 110-2071.
The internet is normally filled with info about old machines but not this one. (or I'm loosing my touch for finding info)
I am guessing it was from the beginning of Taiwanese built and imported 12x36 lathes.
Seems similar to the Grizzly G4003 except it only has a single 3 speed gearbox with the High/Low option, this with the 2 step motor pulley gives the machine a total of 12 speeds as apposed to the 18 that the G4003 has.

Thanks ahead of time if you are able to help!

For comparison's sake, the lathe I just bought is also a Frejoth 12x36. The data plate on mine names it a FI-900G, and is dated 1986-3.
I have downloaded the manuals from the Grizzly website for model G9249, and read through a first pass. Admittedly the Grizzly 1237 size lathe has some notable differences, but the similarities are so great that it's worth having until I can find more specific information.
The Frejoth website doesn't lead me anywhere, but I'm still looking.

I have a '94 enco 12x36 belt head that is a near cousin of this. Makes great parts.
