Comments:

Acquired from Bill Taggart, a fellow OWWM'er, for $75. It was not in rough condition, but looked somewhat crappy, with faded mint green paint, an old sewing machine base for a stand, and generally rusty and grimy. It also needed new bearings and sharp knives.

Right now I have about $250 into this machine, and that includes the machine itself, new bearings, new cutterhead shaft, new knives, link-belt, paint, the stand, and outside labor for the shaft machining and bearing press. Paint is Hammerite blue, Fenner Power Twist belting, motor is Westinghouse 1/3 hp 1725 rpm. Not much, but it seems to have plenty of juice.

I have seen an identical clone of this machine bearing a Wards Powr-Kraft badge.
