Comments:
Acquired it from my girlfriends grandfather's workshop, he had passed away some years ago and it was just collecting dust along with other machine tools. I honestly just got these tools and have not really addressed the planer just yet, I didn't even take a good pic yet so I will be updating this entry. It currently has a GE 1HP Repulsion-Induction Single Phase motor equipped. This is what I have seen described as an "alien" planer. It looks like the belts may need replaced and have no idea about the motor's bearings yet.
