This was a CL find. Person I got it from had bought it from the original owner. Everything seems to be original and in pretty darn good shape. Would love to know what year it was built. So far have not seen another one like on the photo index. Base appears to be homemade job and it has a Craftsman 1/2hp motor. Will need to rewire the motor since the insulation sheathing on the power cord is coming apart.
