I bought this from a furniture company that had used it for decades, though probably not since it was new. It was well cared for, and I think 100% original with all parts accounted for. I swapped the 3hp non-OEM 3-ph motor for a period correct 2hp single phase one I had that easily weighed twice as much. And I added dust collection, which turned out to be pretty straightforward and very effective. Bearing replacement and table fine tuning still to come.
