Picked this up off of CL. Nice little machine, ran smooth and quiet. PO had it bolted on a ancient big plywood cabinet that I had no need for other than the cast iron casters. Removed it and as received as seen in photos. PO had the stand that is shown in the photo, has a filing cabinet and appears a drill press was bolted to it at one time. Has wheels that elevate/depress to move it around. Thought it was neat so I took it of the PO's hands. The jointer will not be mounted to it after I go through and clean up the jointer. I have a Delta 34-600 table saw with stand that has the slot for a jointer, I'll see if it fits. The jointers fence is 21" long and the table is 25 5/16" at zero elevation. This is a very small machine and reasonably heavy. If anyone knows who made the stand and what it was originally used for, please let me know.

11/5/12 progress update. Went through the motor and made it like new again. Made the switch face plate and had to go to Grainger for the rubber bushings (not exact but modified to fit). The data plate is missing, does anyone know who made this motor, the hp? # 4310 is stamped on the case under where the data plate would be. It has a mounting system of 4 rubber bushings (2 on each end) that mount the motor to a seperate mount (photos 4-6). This mounting system may identify the maker.
