From what I've read there were only 128 of these made. The machine was in excellent shape when I received it. It is missing the original motor. The last user put carter guides on, but he still had the original guides. I just bought new carter 500 series guides. Not too impressed by them, but they work for now. I just resently put a 5hp motor on which kind of matches the original along with a VFD to slow it down to 900rpm. I hope to start striping it down this summer.

I found out from the a copy of the original invoice that it was sold to the Calumet City high school in 1936.
