I found this on Craigslist and bought it on Saturday,August 6, 2011, from Margaret Wickman, in Cedar Park, Texas. She said " My husband's name was Russell Wickman and his father, who originally used the equipment, was Alexander (Al) Wickman and we are from Dayton Ohio. His father's business was called A A Cabinet Shop and was located at 2005 North Main Street there." It now appears, from all indications, to be the earliest known example of this machine, at the time of this posting. It is missing one table extension, and one dust door knob has been replaced with a later model one - silver rather than black. As far as I can tell (with the possible exception of the power switch and box) it is otherwise complete and original. The motor is a U-8120. Spindle is a 3/4." She may have the paper on it as well as some accessories, and said she will get back to me on that. It has a tag from Holtson Machinery Company, Dayton, Ohio. More pictures will be uploaded when restoration is complete.
