Bought from the St Louis County Museum of Transport. It had been donated to them, and had been sitting in storage for a while. They brought it out to joint parts for a wooden tank car. After that, they decided to sell it because it was too large for their very small wood shop. The motor is a 5 hp/3ph Wagner. The guard is a Surty. I really like it--it slides out of the way for edge jointing, and rides over the wood for face jointing.
