I found an old Seneca Falls 10" x 36" lathe. It's in fair to goo
condition, no rust except on the chrome handwheels. It has been store in a heated dry basement for 15 years. The only marking I spotted wa cast in the fron surface of the bed, and read "Model 20".
The head stock, the carriage and the tail stock were all snug an smooth.
The drive system looks like it is a complete cobble job. It was "trapeze" looking affair and fashioned from twisted and straigh v-belts, on a 2x4 lumber platform that the previous owner (no deceased) had apparently attached to his ceiling.
The whole "trapeze" contraption was leaning against a wall so I didn' see it run, but it apparently was reversible according to the curren owner, who had never run it in 15 years.
I've seen the info on
