I left the home on a mission to pick up this b/s for a owwm'er, I was the enabler. I got there & inspected it. I called to tell him what I found & the conditions. They were not quite what he was looking for, P.O. was not lowering the price so my buddy passed on it. As it was now free game I had a chance to admire the lines. The motor ran fine & it cut well even with hardly any tire left on the wheels. 3 of us got it into the back of my car(370 lbs). I pulled it out & let it land on a dolly when I got home. I promptly sold my modern Delta 14" for more than I had purchased it 3 yrs ago. I was smitten & am now very happy. I am no longer hunting for a j-120. I am in the midst of restoring it. I later discovered a broken part of the trunnion which will need brazing. This will complement my W line machines, (W-20 lathe & w-90/95 4" belt and 10" disc combo machine).
