I found this beauty in a grage sale last summer. Just realize I have not toyed with it. There is long story behind why I have not been doing much in my shop. Maybe some day I will talk about that.

Yes it is a Lathe but my questions are:

Who made it?

When was it made?

How Do I hook it up to a power supply and make it work again?

Does any one know where I can find out about it or the answers to these questions?

Try the following site, have found a lot of old machines and information there

Looks like an old wide belt driven lathe. Seen bigger ones like this but not this small.
Thanks

In NWA all the time. Where are you at? Most of these are driven from overhead and belts go through out the shop. Like of a smaller version of what you see at the woodshop at SDC in Branson running the lathes and other larger tools.
Thanks
