This machine was sold at an online public auction by the State of Alaska Division of General Services out of the UAS Machine Shop in Juneau, Alaska on on August 15, 2014 for $455 (which was an unbelievable steal if you ask me)

The machine was listed with very few details, but appeared to be in excellent condition. The following is the descriptive text for the machine-

"Oliver 16" Jointer
Machine # 2062
Serial# 202647
Phase 3 Short Stop Electric Motor Brake
SS-4A-5
8'2" long
28" Wide

Condition: GOOD"

For 15 days there was not a single bid. Then, with 10 minutes to go, somebody from out of state threw up a bid for the opening price, and apparently not a penny more at $450. With 5 minutes to go, the winning bidder stepped in and out bid the first bidder by $5 and won the jointer.

The same two went back and forth a bit for a newer model Northfield - Uni-point which closed around $400 (up from the start of $250) to the same lucky fellow who won this jointer. Neither bidder touched the Rockwell 8" 37-315 jointer at the same auction that closed with no bids at $150.

I searched all over to find images of one of these 2062 jointers, and I am not aware of any others. Since this machine was listed a few hundred thousand miles from me and I only saw the auction hours before closing, I could not travel to take these pictures in person, but here these are the images from the auction.
