Comments:

The previous owner found this in the basement of the house he bought and posted it on craigslist. It is pictured as received, except that I already reversed the table that was mounted backwards. It came with additional tooling and parts for at least two other shapers- Atlas and Delta. It came with fence shown mounted which is not correct to the machine. It is fitted with a collet for router bits- no other spindles came with. It is mounted on a shopmade table which is as heavy or heavier than the shaper-which is saying something. For its size this unit is remarkable heavy.

It has obviously succumbed to a respray to the color scheme shown here. Top is rusty but not pitted and everything works like it should.
