Request for info/manuals on RCA Victor M1-12701
Hi, first time on lathe trolls, came into my first record lathe today having pretty much no experience, hope to pick up a lot from the DIY lathe folks as I would like to build one eventually.
Picking up the lathe tomorrow, haven't seen it but its in good working order just doesn't come with blanks. Anything I should know/ask when I pick it up?

Got it today. Amp powers on, turntable powers on/spins. Visual appearance okay, lots of grease where grease needs to be, dusty, surface rust on outside case hinges and thats all.
No documentation, just that double sided instruction mat. Phonograph arm looks okay, only issue is
1) No cutting needles
2) Nothing to cut on
The volume and tone switches spin pretty freely but I can feel when they're at the max (10) and min (0), that's probably just the threads being loose or something.
I have pretty much no electronics/audio engineering background and sunk 50$ into this so anything I get out of it is positive If anyone has any links to manuals/parts/etc it would be much appreciated.
