I acquired this machine from a local medical supply company. They purchased the machine new in 1969. This router was part of a work cell that sized and shaped wood panels. This cell ran less than 4 hours a week during this machine's 42 years of service. The company I work for started producing these panels, and the medical supply company had no use for the machine anymore. Since the company I work for already has 2 pin routers, I picked this machine up for my home shop. I also purchased some other machinery that day for my employer, but that is for another post.

The router is in excellent condition. It has been well maintained and lightly used. I may put a fresh coat of paint on it, but I don't believe the machine needs much more than that.
