This machine was originally purchased by an uncle of mine. He used it for a while and then it sat around collecting rust. In the mid '70's he cleaned it up, painted it red and gave it to my dad. When my dad passed away in 1989 I inherited this along with all his other woodworking tools. This past week I took the headstock apart to replace the drive belt and decided that it would be a good time to clean it up and repaint it. This machine has an extension bed and a long tool rest not shown in these photos, both of which are still in the process of being restored.
