I got this machine from my father-in-laws basement where it had been stored for the last 40-45 years. I believe he got it from Kant(Sp)Lumber Co. in Dearborn, Michigan where he worked for a number or years.
The machine has most of its original paint, manufactures decal, flat leather belts(2),etc. It appears to be in pretty good shape. It has a table saw with accessories, jointer, shaper, and band saw(with blades), but I believe it is missing some parts to another type of operation----I'm not sure what that operation is at this time. I have one picture from an old ad to go by and can see that I have some of the parts, but can not figure out what exactly is missing or what that part of the machine does. All of the other parts appear to be functional including the main drive shaft. It does not have a motor and I'm not sure if it even came with one. Some details include rulers that are part of the castings on the jointer fence and table saw fence slide and the word "JUNIOR" cast in 3" letters on the base.
As I am only allowed 3 pictures, I can't show all of the details. All-in-all, it is a pretty nice piece of old iron.
