Hi all. I have machine no. 6992. It's all there and working with a good number of accessories. Any idea what year the mill was made? It's 30s or 40s, but it would be good to know more precisely.

1942 - maybe a Lend Lease deal. Can we have it back now?:D These are listed in the serial book as "2LU" which I will guess stands for #2 Light Type Universal
 
Post photos of the machine if you can, the mills are fairly scarce here. If you are working on the machine, you will find the manuals not really concise, but the machines are very easy to work on, and interesting in construction.
 
The Brown U engineering machine shop (not student shop) had two B&S No. 2 Light Universals back in the early 80s. I bet they are no longer there.
