Comments:

Machine was ordered 11/22/1944 for the "Supply Officer at the U.S. Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi (flour bluff), Texas.
The machine was marked shipped 12/23/1944
Original Purchase price was 1853.00

I purchased this machine off CraigsList due to it being damaged by a forklift (add was selling it for parts)
I picked it up and am in the process of compleetely dismantling it for a complete overhaul/rebuild.
(there are 2 pictures of cracks/breaks in the casting due to a irresponsible fork lift driver driving into the bed of this machine...)
the breaks are all the way through and when the bed was removed, then pieces fell of the base. (this will be the first task after the tear down.)
