Comments:

The machine was purchased from a dentist in Overland Park, Kansas in 2004. The dentist purchased the jointer around 1977 and used it for occasional hobby projects in his basement shop. Because the jointer has a 3-phase motor, he installed a phase converter. I do not have the history prior to 1977. Some will take disfavor of my paint job to Powermatic green, but now the jointer fits in with the rest of my machines in the shop. Must be the nature of an architect to color cordinate machines. I will use the jointer in my efforts to design and build reproduction Missoin Style furniture from quarter sawn white oak.
