Free Lathe In Ct

Before the advent of individual electric motors, it was standard practice for all lathes in a shop to be powered by on overhead line shaft and flat belts. When individual electric motors were introduced, or the lathe was moved to a single lathe shop, the vertical belt was expected so the power supply was naturally mounted above the machine. A plant I worked in had a machine shop like that, noisy with the belts slapping as they moved with a continuous rumble of the bearings on the line shaft. .

Looks like a well maintained lathe. Lots of tooling on the floor, too. Someone should grab it.
 
If I had the room I would take it. But it is a bit larger than I can accommodate.
 
I have the room and would love to have it but the drive from Louisiana would be a killer for me, what a find looking lathe, that would be real nice to have, sure hope it does not see the scrap yard, Cajun Lathe
