Picked this up today from a sale in Lincoln, NE. Neat old jointer with sheet metal base. Original single phase 1/2 HP Driver Line motor. Needs a good cleaning and adjusting but purrs like a kitten. Has the signature funky Walker-Turner style guard that has more configurations than a Swiss army knife. Also has a nifty over engineered depth pointer thats kind of fun to watch work.

Badged with the Kearney-Trecker era so I guess that puts it in the later 1950's.

Comments: Rear view. Note original Driver Line motor. Apparently sheet metal was so pricey in that day that they couldn't afford to completely cover the capacitor?
