As Peter rightly informs, his lathes reference is important.
Regarding gearing, the ML4 has a leadscrew which is compatible with the
later 7 series.
You buy 20DP gears and get on with it! If you want a manual, the stock
answer is- you ain't going to get one.
If you want spares and accessories, tough! You are going to have to
make them yourself.
If you want designs etc, then you might have to wait. One of the Forums
is trying to get Martin Cleeve stuff on the net. If you are impatient,
you are welcome to plough your way through endless Model Engineers
dating back to 1955- or volunteer to assist to put this still valuable
information onto the net.
This is not intended to be churlish. I am scanning articles from here
in England out to Australia and comments are coming in from California.
It is as complicated as that.
With luck, the other articles on restoring a ML4 will have to be
unearthed and so on.

keep an eye on the industrial tools section of e-bay, parts do
occaisionally come up.even complete lathes appear, if you could get an
incomplete one you could canibalise it for spares.
