Comments:

The machine was advertised on Craigslist. Unused for a number of years, it had been sitting for a while outside under an awning, where the pigeons were able to pepper it. Overall in excellent condition. Obviously repainted at some point, but they did an OK job. There's a Dept. of Interior (BIA, probably) property tag on it, currently covered with paint. Master Electric Co. 3hp-3ph motor and mount (not original, this was a line shaft machine). The 4-knife round head has Crescent Co. markings. Babbitt bearings seem sound. Significant surface rust on the tables, but believe it will clean up OK.
