THIS MACHINE IS NOT FOR SALE, DON'T ASK, AND NO I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE YOUR ITEM "X" FOR IT. THIS IS NOT A SALES FORUM AND I DO NOT HAVE MACHINERY FOR SALE HERE.

I purch'd this fm another OWWMember (thank you John!) and rec'd it from him at the recent CAMA-OWWM gettogether in Kent, CT in the beginning of May '12. I don't know any real history on it except that he had gotten it from a woodworking firm that went out of business, somewhere in NJ. Everything is pretty well rusted, except for the tension mech. for the belt and the horizontal/vertical positioning. Getting the dc chute, pedestal tray, and the broken motor mounting plate off turned into a two day affair, of gentle coaxing, PBlaster soakings, gravity and patience. I believe that the serial # is correct, and from where I got it? Off of the dc chute of all things. I am working with another member on getting this back up to speed and some parts recast, thanks to James for your help.

This B9 has been completely restored and sitting in my shop waiting for some final work, for two years or so. Up to date photos coming soon.
