Our company has recently acquired a lathe made in Germany during what I believe is the late 1960's when that nation was divided between Communist and Western Democracies. We're going to use it for expanding our capabilities toward servicing marine shafting.
From what I've gathered so far, the lathe was made in East Germany. The Company's name is Veb Stahl-und Walzwerk Groditz Ser.# 6776. However, from there the hunt for additional information up to and including an Operators and Service Manual died on the vine. I've even uncovered a CIA Information Report on this company that led nowhere as far as acquiring the needed information toward servicing and maintaining this lathe.
If any members on this forum can point me in the right direction toward discovering the data I need to get this lathe and it's accessories up and running ASAP I'd be very grateful and appreciative of any crumb trails being pointed my way.
