Well, client and friend just picked this up from a storage yard in San Diego. It was advertised on Craig's List as a 12" but low and behold you should have seen the grin on my face when we opened the door and saw the aircraft carrier sitting there. It is a 20" jointer with a motor on it the size of a small microwave, motor is a 5hp 3 phase.

Might be getting a new 5hp single phase for it unless we can find another option. Looks like this is the first known example of a 20" Silver here so not positive on the year.
