A fellow collector ruckered this to me from Pennsylvania. It's an odd duck. It has a vastly oversized quill return assembly and a motor mount that adjusts along 3 axis. Probably old hat to WT guys but this was a first for me. The design, as far as I can tell, requires the entire quill assembly to be dropped in order to change the belt as the spindle doesn't clear the cast-in pulley cover even in the lowest position. It came to me with a later model Chi-com motor so it'll wait in silence until I find a period correct motor. This only appears in the 1935 Sears Power Tool catalog.
