This is a Barnes metal lathe, originally "strap" driven" that happens to be in fantastic shape but is missing a few parts. It on e belonged to a man who restored old exotic cars but has now passed away. It was sold after his death to a fellow who thought he could use it but, thankfully, could not; so he sold it to me.
I have been using it in its limited capacity with pleasure but would love find the other bits and pieces.
I cannot find a serial # or model # on it anywhere and I'm hoping someone can tell me what I've got.
