I convinced a friend of mine to go with me for a six hour car ride the purpose of which was to pick up this Ammco 7" shaper. It belonged to the sellers Granfather who supposedly bought it new and only used it in his home shop.
We had to drag it up a flight of stairs. The sellers father who was there said he remembers carrying it down the stairs as a teenager. Given his age (68) and the age of the machine his father ( the sellers grandfather) more likely bought it used than new. Not an issue as it is in good shape and it ran beautifully.

The machine is pretty much plug and play. The electrical needs to be redone and it needs a good clean. Ended up doing a total reburbishment and making a new stand for it.
