New owner of a 5c head...info request!

Hey everyone,
Wanted to wait to say hello until I had something worth talking about ;)

Got a fantastic lathe from a fellow lathe troll a little while back, a presto MLC12SP...with a presto 5c cutting head.
I've worked on grabbing gear, and knowledge about this wonderful art in the hopes of getting it all under my fingers soon !!!! (So excited).

I'm working on wiring up a VU meter, equalizer, and my bogen 10w pre amp. Along with heat/vacuum units to hopefully cut some poly sometime...

I've got a few questions, however the most important one at the moment... Info on the presto 5C!!!!

If anyone has any info on this head I would greatly appreciate it, I know there has been some conversation on the 5c...but I would love to know more, perhaps the manual???
Any help would be soooo appreciated...

Thank you all so much,
