I just (today) picked up a lathe but it's an old one. Labeled Manning Bowman Sand*Saw*Turn*Finish Model 76500 McGraw-Edison out of Booneville, MO

The one thing I have found in relation to the item is this ad attached from Model Rocketry December 71.

I'm just trying to find any info I can on this machine. I'm just starting to try woodworking so I realize it's no Jet or Delta. Just something for me to putz around on.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I recently acquired a jewelers lathe my mother used to use in her watch and clock repair business. I'm not entirely sure what I intended to do with it but I have yet to make any use of it, largely because of the chucks not working well with wood. I would love to get some use out of it at some point.
