This machine was sold locally by an 82 year old former shop teacher who was modernizing his shop. He was a delightful person to work with and he wanted to talk about all sorts of things for as long as I could stay to listen. He was very hands on in trying to help load the machine, which was nice. He said the machine had always been painted this color green for as long as he could remember, that it came from the school shop, that it worked great, and that the knives had never been sharpened. I don't think he used it very much. It seemed very complete and because this is a relatively less common machine I wanted to put some pictures of it on the archive, although I think the other entries have done a good job of showing what this machine is like. The motor in this one is clearly not original, but it seems like almost everything else is, or at least it seems pretty close.
