Purchased this at an Estate Sale last weekend. The gentleman selling it said it was his Father's. He did not know when it was purchased but said it was in his Father's shop for as long as he could remember. Chuck and key are "original".
It looks like the motor is period, but the rear pulley is a single, the front pulley is a quad.
The motor is a Westinghouse A.C. Motor Type CAN, 110/60, 1/6 horsepower, 1725 RPM, SN 5325613. Check out the old twisted power cord.
It looks very similar to two other postings on this site, both listed as Walker Turner D57x DPs.
My intent is to restore this and use it as a DP for wood. Once restored, will post additional images.
If anyone has any information on the model and manufacturing date, please contact me.
If anyone has any tips or gotchas on restoration, pleas contact me.
