They still make small lathes (at least up till the beginning of this 
year). Their current version of the Unimat is a CNC one.

Part of their Compact lathes (don't know about the other ones) are now 
being manufactured by the same Taiwanese company that also put the clones 
on the market. The precision parts (spindle, leadscrew, etc.) are still 
being made by Emco itself and send to Taiwan for assembly.
You can see if it's still one of the 'real' Emco's by its logo. For the 
new ones it says something like 'Emco, designed by...'
