Comments:

This jointer was purchased on Craig's list. It belonged to the seller's father-in-law. He had replaced the motor and installed a new factory Yates American on/off switch. It is one of the J Line series and based on a label found on the jointer, belonged to the Grants, NM school district at some point. The jointer was in usable condition as found and I have been using it in the shop. The original s/n tag is missing so no age information is attached to the jointer.
