I was bequeathed an old Brent pottery wheel that has not been used for some time . I would like help in determining the model so that I can order parts, etc. where needed.

I could try and measure the very old shabby one I have, but I'm not sure if it's stretched or how good my measuring is. If anyone know the speci
