Looking for any info we can find. This runs but we are just guessing when it comes to using everything. Have searched all over Web and can't find anything on this lathe. Especially would love to find paperwork, manual, whatever. Thanks Mike C.
PS Sorry to take up so much space

You might find something under "Reed-Prentice".

Dick Z, gave the Reed - Prentice a try but have to try and narrow down manufacture year. I'm guessing early 1900's, think I'm close?
Would love to get this up and running. Don't know what pulleys to measure from to order some of the wide belts fore the left hand side. Seems like that will run an auto carriage when cutting. And then of course there's the shifter. Lord knows what that will control.

See if the serial number is stamped on the end of the ways or bed.
