Comments:

Four-head molder retrieved in January, 2004 from a millworks that was retooling. The machine has a fairly simple cast iron frame that supports a rather complex mechanism. Just about anything that could be adjustable, is.

This machine is not yellow. It's covered with dust.

In the summer of 2004, the machine travelled to Iowa to join OWWMer Mike Burian's collection.
