The Lathe looks the same as the Clarke Lathe which is the same as other branded lathes from various suppliers.

Someone on here may recognise the overall lathe under a different brand and the manual may exist online.

Hope the ebay chuck fits, but if not take the 2 prong drive you just removed to an engineering shop and they will tell you exactly what the thread is, and while you are there get them to skim it and remove all the damage done in removing it  :D

Yes, I will do as you say and get that skimmed because the chances of finding another seem to be fairly remote at this stage.

Some shots which might solve the mystery of who made this.

Do the photos above ring any bells Richard?

I've done a little bit of digging. This lathe appears to be swedish made by Dal vast Industrigruppen which is now a government owned company by the name of Samhall. That's about as far as I've got but there isn't another machine like it online and it's not for the want of looking.

Ianparkin:
You really need to be able to measure accurately the spindle
If you can borrow a digital calliper and measure across the peaks of the threads that will give you the thread diameter ..looking at your pic of the thread its likely to be one of the following
Common sizes are 24mm or 25mm or in imperial 1” 7/8” 1 1/8”
Then across as many peaks as you can measure the pitch
So if you measure 5 pitches in 15mm its 3 mm pitch....or if its 5 pitches in 12.7mm it could be 10 tpi
Then you need to measure the register diameter (the plain section after the threads)

As the lathe is made in Sweden it could be a metric form but it may be imperial
