Saw this on Craigslist Sunday afternoon for cheap, called & arranged an evening pickup. Seller had received it in trade & then stored for some time. Some light rust & missing front & rear guards & a caster wheel, but the original 1/2 HP motor had been replaced with a Gould/Century 1 HP. Ran fine, but tables & fence didn't want to move. Some light oil on the ways overnight loosened everything up. Knives were all cockeyed, left table was at max low setting & the adjustment screws for both tables were all backed out several turns. I adjusted the tables, honed & reset the knives & got most of the rust off everything, . Going to clean up some more & just use it as is with a restore later on. Posted March 9, 2011. Edited to add pic of renovated machine.
