I just reviewed the photos of every jointer on your site. Moak is the only one that has the bed leveling adjusters, but I can't identify mine. There are no manufacturers markings. Here are the specs... 7' bed, belt drive, TWO blade head, Babbets not bearings, no apparent place for a blade guard. Here is the strange part, NOWHERE can i find a manufacturer's ID or nameplate or badge. The only markings I can find is that all the cast parts have a part number on them starting with the letter "J" as in "J3" "J13" etc. I bought this from a fellow woodworker who was upgrading, but he had no idea of it's history either. All I did was ad the starter switch, new belts, sharpened cutters and tuned it up. Works fine, but i would love to upgrade to at least a 3 cutter head.

Anyone have a better idea what it is?
