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 |
