Comments:

Purchased from what I believe to be the orignial owner's son. He had a substantial hobby shop in Reading, PA that apparently he used to make money on the side. Open bearings on the motor and on the cutter head are in good shape. I'll put some new grease and oil in as they have sat unused for at leat 3 years. The motor looks original but it is only 1/2HP where the literature that I've seen suggests a 3/4HP or 1HP was available. We'll see how it performs. No cracks, original blade guard and Arrow Hart motor switch. Should see plenty more years of service. I may just clean up the top or repaint, haven't decided yet.
