THIS MACHINE IS NOT FOR SALE, DON'T ASK, AND NO I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE YOUR ITEM "X" FOR IT. THIS IS NOT A SALES FORUM AND I DO NOT HAVE MACHINERY FOR SALE HERE.

I spotted this in a local Buffalo, NY C'list ad and went to take a look at it. The p.o. was preparing to take it apart and remove it to Albany, NY and part it out and adapt the base for a table. After much negotiation over it, I rescued it and paid $350.00 for it. The planer is on the site of a former lumber mill south of Buffalo, NY, that used to produces supplies for the log cabin/home/building industry, altho' with a smaller mill setup. I don't think that the planer was ever used or ran. It was purch'd with some other wood processing machinery from a lumber operation somewhere in the Adirondack State Park, NY, however, a p.o. tag shown below reads with a different story, so who knows really. The planer's bed was off kilter to a large degree and had been stuck there for quite awhile. The planer has been scrapped in May 2017.

Comments: Whipple Bros Inc and a shop # I think. A most likely hit from Yahoo. there is a Whipple Bros. firm in Clarks Summit (Scranton) PA where the planer may have come from. They sell building & lumber supplies.
