This is my Barnes drill co gap bed lathe, it was in rough shape when I got it. The power feed is broken which I will fix eventually but for now I hand mill things with it. I believe I bought it around 2010. The people I bought it from said they had only been using it a month before but it was covered in sand and junk and I probably overpaid for it. But I use it as much as I can. It has a conversion from line shaft to single motor with a 4 speed gearbox. Has a 12 inch 4 jaw chuck and a swing of 14” with the bed gap closed and 24” with the gap open.
