Comments:

PM Model 50 from my birth year 1955. Ad on Craig's List for someone to restore this machine and I agreed. It was apparently purchased from a wood shop for $60.
Went through the whole machine and added badges to the homemade rolling base. Had Sherwin Williams match the paint for $22 a quart. Used an HVLP sprayer and the paint color came out exactly like the original. Here are the color specs if you want do your machine.
Sherwin Williams all surface enamel (oil) BAC colorant OZ 32 64 128
W1- White - 37 - -
L1-Blue - 29 - -
R2- Maroon - 1 1 1
Y3- Deep Gold - 37 - -
B1-Black - 6 - -
Restoration was about 50 hours up in the Seattle Washington area.
