Comments:
Picked this up at a school auction, was in good shape other than painted machine gray. Fully restored with new bearings, lube change, poly tires, link belts, and a couple coats of DuPont NASON single stage in Sovereign Gold Metallic. It has a 3/4 hp marathon single phase with a magnetic starter, all original. Cuts like butter.

Comments: I didn't paint the inside, it was in very good shape. Don't mind the G-word jointer in the background, that will be replaced in time.
