There's a really nice looking pacemaker lathe locally too
The green(?) one on CL is old enough to NOT have the hard ways (the Pacemaker came out in 1935)
Yes, the green one ! I've been mentally shuffling my shop and finances thinking of that one. Tell me more bad news, it has Machine Aids, the gears are all blown up. . . This way I can stay focused on current projects.
It sure is pretty. . . I have no real justification, but have been thinking of upgrading maybe one of two 16" South Bends for a gear head like that, a Monarch, L & S or something. Timing wise, it would be better if i wait a month or two, to finish the current machine im doing. Just hate missing a good opportunity.
What makes you say that it's a K&T? It doesn't strike me as being a K&T mill. The motor access door is on the back of the machine and the overarm is not a K&T design. AFAIK they only used a dovetail way overarm on their Ram Head models, which that is not. The only thing that resembles a K&T is the vertical head.
was thinking the mill might have been made in Europe so I tried an image search
While not European this one looks close.

While not European this one looks close or a newer good imitation

That's a the Russian " Stanko mill " Jim. The dial type feed selector low down on the knee is a clue. As is the locking lever for the spindle speed change on the left hand side of the column. That's a unique feature I've only ever seen on the " Stanko mill ".
Maybe the Chinese are copying the design.
