Comments:

I saw this on Craigslist for a few months. the seller wants 200$. I dismiss it, I've passed on combo machines before.
A few months pass. he relists it for 100$. I had to see.
Upon inspection I notice the layers of grease and sawdust encrusted upon every surface.
All Bearings and arbors were very tight. zero pitting on any surface, milling marks still there. Jointer knives ,razor sharp.
Belts, Dado blades, stack of blades. All 1" arbor. How about That jointer guard...

So I ask the man who sold me this: How did this come to be? "My father bought this in the late 30's to build this house, He did so and it sat in the corner ever since."
I handed him 150$
