Don't be misled by the Pratt badge. That's just the manufacturer of the chuck, it's now called Pratt Burnerd. Owned by 600 group based in Leeds who do still make machine tools. They own loads of old brands Cholchester etc.

Sorry can't be any help on the lathe itself.

Not sure what model it is but thank you all for your help so far smile
