This machine belongs to Don Campbell, on whose behalf I am posting the pic.

This machine was purchased in 1957 or 1958 for use in a high school shop. In the 1960s Don was a student at the school. From 1973 until 2004 Don was the Industrial Arts and Technology teacher, and the shaper was in his shop. Motor bearings were replaced in the late 1970s--at that time the shaper was getting a lot of use--but later students preferred to use routers and so for the last several years the shaper lay idle. When Don retired he brought the shaper home and is getting it back into running order. It mostly needs just cleaning and lubrication.
