This machine was in a boat shop in South Dartmouth, MA that closed down. One of the employes bought it, took it apart and put it in his barn in 1995. He never put it back together - got sick and died. The widow wanted it out, and although it is big for me, I did not want it to go for scrap.
It is a basket case - very much apart - and some rust - but nothing is frozen up. It has a 3 phase 15 hp motor.
I plan on derusting, painting and assembling it. Will change photos as progress is made.
