I just purchased a Jet 1340 and to make room for it my Colchester Student lathe has to go. Frankly, this lathe needs some work. Biggest issue is the ways. Comes with three chucks, faceplate, bridge, and factory tool holders. The lathe is under power in my shop just outside Jonesboro, Arkansas.
If I can not find a buyer I will part it out. If you need a Colchester Student part(s) send me a PM so I can put you on the list. Tsi study guide for math. If this thread is not appropriate in this forum would you please tell me where to put it (be nice) and I will comply. Thanks, BIB OVERALLS.

My Colchester Student is a measures 6.25' from the center to the closest part of the ways. I'm thinking that makes a 13 but I could be wrong. When I measure from the face of the chuck to the tail stock I get 23' The lathe comes with a rocker tool post, a compound tool post, a 12' face plate, and three chucks; one 10' three jaw, one 6 ' four jaw, and a new 8' three jaw with three additional jaws. This last chuck needs to be matched to the lathe.

The also comes with fabricated rest of some type and a threaded ring that mounts like a chuck, has three threaded bolt holes in the face. Looks like some kind of adapter but I do not know what four. I assume that you meant 'with the gap block out'.
Distance between spindle center of 6-1/8' to 6-1/4' would be standard for a 12' lathe. If it were only 6' exactly, you could not safely swing anything 12' in diameter.

Center to Center distance means with a center in the spindle and no chuck mounted. Where the tailstock is and exactly where the tailstock ram is is a little iffy but generally with the right end of the tailstock block flush with the right end of the ways and with the ram not quite retracted to the point where it would eject the center. I don't have a catalog handy that shows the Student but would guess that the C-C rating is probable either 26' or 27'.
For example, you may receive a base shop manual for the HRR216/HRS216/HRT216/HRZ216 and a supplement that covers a new type or model not covered in the base. A supplement covers differences unique to a type (or in some cases, a model), but you refer to the base for those areas not covered in the supplement. You will use both manuals when completing a repair. Shop manuals often 'build' upon a base shop manual. Honda gx630 shop manual.
