Hi;
I have a lathe 20s to 50 era I am trying to identify. I would like to post some pics, but I am not sure how to. There are no tags or decals,other than it has a gear case cover that says Monarch, however from what I remember this is not original to this machine,nor is the forward/rev banjo. It works fine, but is not original. My father bought it in St.Louis, Mo. about 1960--1965, used, as a "Toolroom" lathe. The back gear lever is on the chuck end of the headstock. It has a 3 step flat pulley,driven from the top with a flat 3 step pulley thru a lever clutch to a flat 2 step pulley to a flat 2 step motor sheave mounted behind and below the headstock. The bed including headstock is 60 inchs long with a swing of 5" to 5.5" center spindle to bed. If someone can tell me how to post pics I will. I am a newbe in case you havent figured that out yet.
Help anyone
Randy
