Comments:

I bought this from an older gentleman who had it for about 20 years and planned to restore it . He never got around to it, I got it for $250 . Not sure on the year built. I disassembled it and cleaned, lubed , and adjusted. Overall the only items that where worn were the ratchet gear S7-81 and the knee X axis gear S111.

Comments: Tear down time. A few sheared bolts, and everything was seized up from years of dried up grease.
