Finally picked up this machine on cl since i have almost finished restoration on my other machines. Seems to be all there however i will
have to repair the covers and go thorough the upper wheel bearings. The lower wheel has bronze bushings. My other walker turner bn725 covers were cracked but this is going to be a challenge with fixturing and keeping adjacent repairs cool. Worse case i will mold the upper guard and cast it out of fiberglass. This is a nice looking machine but not really built to use and abuse. It will probably be another project/decoration. I will keep the original paint on except for repairs where a color match will be needed. Found original color and I plan on uploading a 1934 catalog that really dates this machine in color description and table being ground flat for 1934 models. states previously model BN100. Also found bushings in upper wheel. No bearings at all
