Barnes No. 3 Velocipede wood lathe

Description

Lathe-
Offered is a No. 3 Barnes Velocipede wood turning lathe.  Cast iron legs are marked "3, W. F. & J Barnes Co., Rockford, Ill, USA".  Cast iron pedals are marked "Pat'd Feb & March 1876".  I know the unit is not complete & photos show what is offered.  From what I can determine there is a connection missing from the pedals to the fly wheel that is needed to make the unit functional(I think?).  There is a wood handled chain sprocket that was acquired with the unit that may or may not go with it.  There is a good belt from the fly wheel to the head that works well.  Is in "as found" uncleaned condition except for the wood ways that have been lightly cleaned.& a lot of the original decoration & pin striping does not show well as is, I am not into restoration.   Stenciling on the ways is super with pinstriping a little faint.  The bottom 1-2"on the legs has some rust, otherwise all the metal parts are rust free. All moving & rotating parts move freely.  One of the most highly decorated foot powered machines & in what I feel is in super condition.  If you have specific questions, let me know.  I would give this a tool condition rating of Exc.
