Picked up in Denver, thru local ads, used in a cabinet shop til one of the partners passed away. Needed some hardware to bring fence back to original, and doors had gone missing. (Probably auctioned)I'm posting because I didn't see another '51 with this set-up in photo index. Needed the usual rust removal and re-paint, didn't quite get the grey correct, but it works. Switch, tag and wheel all in excellent shape. Get's regular use now, and gets extra work when my friends'(new) 3-hp HD Delta breaks down. Filled the lower base with a plastic liner full of sand to up the weight and reduce vibration. We'll see if it'll last as long as the Wright BS. Sad part of story, the guy had a big Delta planer to go with it and I didn't have the cash:-(.
