Back at it and a "new to me" Lathe

Welcome. I hope a tailstock is not one of the missing items for your lathe. For some unknown reasons the tailstocks for SM lathes often seem to go M.IA.
 
The SM 1230 Utilathe I just bought came with a home made steady rest, and no follow rest. I don’t know if the ways are compatible between the two but I could forward pictures and measurements for inspiration if need be. Welcome!
