I bought this machine from a fellow OWWMer in Ohio. Prior to selling it to me he was in contact with Donald Hege, owner of Central Machinery (he used to be employed by Wysong & Miles) and puchased the rights to the Wysong line. Mr. Hege was able to provide the former owner a copy of the records of sale which show that the machine was purchased by an Indiana furinture plant in 1926 for the original amount of $475.00. The machine was purchased with a compound tilting table which was an "upgrade" for this model. I have also contacted Mr. Hege and he has been most helpful in giving me some guidence and ideas on how best to refurbish this machine. I plan to take on this task in the summer of 2011 and will post additional pics when the restoration is complete.
