Comments:
PO picked this up while doing maintenance work at a shop - it was in the corner not being used because it was "old".

Update: Finished restoration, but broke the blade guard. I'm keeping the stand and motor for a longer bed H & A jointer I plan to use. The oak stand and blade guard I made are based on the original cast versions. Motor is 1/2 HP Dayton. Rustoleum Hammered Dark Bronze for jointer and end bells, Rustoleum Hammered Gray for motor middle. Minwax Red Oak for stand with two coats satin clear poly.

Update to update: Sold this jointer to a 20-something beginner - possible future OWWMer?
