Antique lathe restoration pics, where to post?
I have started to remove the patina (read oily corrosion) from my old
B.F. Barnes lathe. The results are encouraging. I am still looking for a 24 inch dia flat belt pulley for the machine. I am also looking for a 1/4 to 1 HP antique electric motor for this machine. AC or DC. Any voltage up to 480. I have an old motor I got from Seattle Metalhead Grant that I will use until I get one that is at least 100 years old. The motor Grant gave me (thanks again Grant) is probably about 70 years old and is a high RPM universal motor. While it will work I will need reduction pulleys to lower the speed by 3/4. I also would like to post pictures of the restoration so I can brag to, er, encourage others to do the same with their old machines. So I would like a simple fast way to post pictures. Thanks, Eric |

Thanks, Eric Eric Please do post to the Dropbox. Otherwise, all the action on old machines is in the PM forum, in the Antiques sub-forum. Lots of Barnes fans there. But you may already know that.

Rex Greetings Rex, I did not know about the PM Antiques sub-forum. I assume you mean the Practical Machinist forum. I'll look there. Thanks for your reply. I will post the first pictures to the Dropbox this weekend. Cheers, Eric |
