I bought this machine feb 12 2019 from an 80 year old master woodworker. He bought it at an auction and had never used it. So when I got it home and unloaded I realized there were no wires coming from the starter box so I rewired it and turned it on and it ran perfect. And it had been sitting for atleast 15 years without use. So after getting it running I tried raising and lowering the spindle and found out that doing so was impossible at this time. So I sprayed Ed 40 and other greasy stuff to try to loosen to know avail. So that will be my project this weekend. My goal over the next few months is to have the machine restored and any color but this blue. But just from what I could tell when I plugged it in and ran it it ran perfect and sounded great with no vibration. I’ll send updated pics when it’s finished.
