I saw this advertised on Craig's List in the next town over. It was a crazy low price so I figured why not, I needed a RAS and kind of liked the Wallace machines. The guy had it on an engine hoist and loaded in on my buddy's truck (it wouldn't fit on my motorcycle) and off I sent. I had to take it all apart to get it off the truck. Talk about heavy. It sat in my garage for a long time and I've finally got around to stripping it down and started restoring it. Of course then we moved and it sat for another few months. I finally have time to finish it up so it's getting there. I'll upload the finished photos once it's all complete and making sawdust. Soon I hope.

Just about completed the restoration. The motor handle was broken at some point in time and when I dropped it on the garage floor it broke again. I brought it to my shop for some repair work. I still need to make a Mr. Sawdust table and complete the mobile base but it runs and cuts.
