I got it home and started to clean and rebuild it back to original spec. I had to order some extra accessories such as a drill chuck and some cutting tools. I still want to get a 4 jaw chuck, a cam lock tailstock kit and a few other things in the future but I am pretty happy with it. You can see how much bigger it is than my Unimat 3 in the photo below. The C3 is classed as a mini lathe, I guess the Unimat must be a micro lathe.
