Found this machine here on VM after a 5+ year search and located in the LA area. Drove the 2500+ mi roundtrip (record for me) to pickup machine. Very nice seller who volunteered to hold machine a few weeks until I could retrieve. Machine is in excellent shape but missing a few knobs and screws--very typical. The only item needing more attention is the foot lever which will need to have new support brazed onto the pedal and drilled--this has been reported before on the forum as a weak link. This machine has two motors: the 5hp drill and the 1hp feed drive. Chisel capacity of the machine is 1 1/4" - 1/4"; stroke is from 2 1/2 to 4 inches. The table will handle stock up to 6" wide. The motor guard of the feed motor, one 'saturn-like' knob was missing from the hold down clamps, and the 6' layout stop rod was also gone (with six spring stops). If anyone has any of these items I would be very interested to make you an offer.
