Comments:

I picked this up in rural upstate New York recently. I have no other history on the machine. It is a single phase with 1/3 HP motor and has what appears to be a somewhat unique lighting option that I would like validated as to whether this is factory original, if at all possible. It runs very well and the lights work. It came with a riser base piece affixed to it that may or may not be original equipment. Someone had previously replaced the wiring but I have plans to tear down and restore the entire unit ultimately.

edit: I have subsequently learned this machine was built for Miller Falls by Kingston-Conley, who manufactured similar machines that were re-branded for others including Atlas, Walker Turner, Sioux, Blue-Point, Skil, Stanley, and possibly others.

Comments: the articulated lights show considerable versatility as to positioning . The shades are of a very hard, thick plastic composition but seem stylistically to be from a later era ???
