What model number is it? I can find out for you in the morning.
All current Sealey lathes are 3/4 by 16

The Jinan Jaya International Economic & Industry Co., Ltd. says its 1" by 8 RH thread or other -- for what that is worth.

You should be able to count the threads per inch which could give you the answer.
Try wrapping some 1in wide masking tape tightly around the spindle to give you some contrast for counting.
