Grabbed this off of Craigslist and the seller even offered to deliver it. It had 2 tables - the standard table and, under the wood sacraficial table, a production table in near perfect shape.

There were a few things to overcome on the restoration of this one - the bolt for the belt tensioning plunger had been broken off and needed to be drilled out (not fun - fairly deep hole), the crank handle for the production table had to be pounded off - there was a major groove worn in the elevation gear shaft from someone tightening the set screw and attempting to turn the frozen shaft --- multiple times. The groove was almost 1/8" deep. Fortunately, once the crank was off, the groove was fairly easily repaired. I parted ways with the production table due to space constraints in my garage.

It got a new feed handle thanks to a fellow owwm'er and I found the correct push-button Cutler-Hammer switch and plate for the front (not pictured)

Comments: New feed handle and depth stop - need to source correct depth stop. Motor is all original, so I decided to leave the paint.
