Comments:
Have acquired this machine from widow of the former owner - he had it since the 70's but apparently never used it.
It was in a shed that was falling down, along with a WalkerTurner drill press and a 14" Delta bandsaw. A Herreschoff "S" boat was holding the roof of the shed up - at great cost to the boat - one of the stands had dented in the hull when the boat settled.
The boat has been saved and is getting reframed by friends. The big bandsaw has some paint now - ready for some power.
