I found this machine for sale a few years ago on this site. This shows the machine condition when I bought it:

I drove six hours from my home in CT to a barn on Lake Ontarion in NY to pick it up. I stripped the whole thing down to individual parts and sandblasted everything to prep for paint. Like my other restorations, this one is painted Rustoleum Gloss Navy. I found the porkchop on the bay and fabricated my own bracket based on a photo I saw on this site on another machine. It's 1/4" plate, 3/4" roundbar, pillowblocks and a spring and works great. The motor is a Westinghouse 2HP, 1PH, 220V, 12.8 amp, and 1750RPM. It is not the motor that was shown in the original listing. The PO kept that one and gave me this one. I sent out the motor, controller and swith to be professionally serviced before adding them to the machine. I made the base from 2x4's and heavy duty casters.
It's 84" long and has babbet bearings. The cutterhead is a 4 knife one from Tawney Machine Company.
