Comments:

This is a machine that my father bought at estate auction several years ago and sat in his garage for at least 20 yrs and was never used. The tag on machine says Sears and Roebuck.I talked him in to giving it to me so I could fix it up and possibly use it to plane some boards and to make some custom molding on it also. The only thing I had to replace was the table bed gears. The planer part seems to work properly but I haven't gotten a chance to do molding on it yet. The pictures that I have are after I restored it and got the machine running.
