Here is another of the little open front "Alien" planers. The difference is this one is extremely RED! I shall tone it down when I refurbish it.
I bought this earlier this year from a local guitar maker, who bought it from someone else some years ago. It has sat unused for many years, according to him. I believe it is in good condition, missing only the round "ball bearings" badge that covers the hole in the forehead. (If anyone has one of these, please let me know! The planer appears to work, which is a good thing since I don't have one.
More later, when its turn comes up.
Edited 11/19/18: I now have the badge but have not yet restored the machine.
