Comments:
Bought off of Craigslist. Several parts were missing, including the speed handle and cam, and the lower head casting had a crack. Moderate rust. I really hate gray, so I painted it cream with maroon stripes, matching my HD shaper rebuilt at the same time. It had a 1 hp 3ph motor, so I put a TECO FM 50 phase converter on it.
