I have a WF&J Barnes 20" I bought it in Seattle. I paid too much.

That Barnes has been for sale quite a while now Jabberwoki. Has a fairly "modern" feed system. A pretty good deal for someone with the space for it and an interest in vintage equipment.

I had to build the lift crank and the quill gear guard. I decided to build a motor house on the base. the flat belts came from Hit and Miss Enterprises. I like the segmented red belts. (at the back)
Picture 2 is a remake of a bent shaft. The shaft had to be turned to size because the 100 year old shaft size is not available in 2000.
Pictures 1 & 3 are of a modified monitor holder to make a tool-tray
I would like to find a new home for this Barnes Camel-back.

"I would like to find a new home for this Barnes Camel-back."

Why?
I`d never part with mine, it gives me so much joy to run it.

If I had the room, and it was 3000 miles closer I'd be all over that.
