I purchased this Red Fox - Design 37, 4 X 12 inch planer at a new and used tool store in 1992. Much to my surprise, the planer came with the original operating instructions and sales brochure. It also came with 3 sets of knives, one of which is still in its original wrapper. The planer needed some repair. The table was not flat, being worn down the center. A local machine shop was able to grind it flat. The bronze bearings in the cutter head were also worn. The bearings are a common size and easily replaced. I added casters to the base to make it easier to move about the shop.
