I purchased this machine from a fellow OWWM member up near Chicago in 2020. The jointer overall was in really good shape with no broken castings. The jointer of course was missing a few knobs and had some mismatched hardware. I was able to get the correct hardware and knobs sourced online. The motor was originally a 1 hp 3 phase motor. I replaced it with a single phase 1 hp Baldor motor. The starter that came with the jointer was rewired and made to work with the new motor. The jointer had 7 layers of paint on a lot of the castings (see pics). Once removed I sprayed the jointer with an automotive lacquer paint from the auto parts stores in Ford dark shadow gray color. The paint has a metallic to it but from a distance looks like it could be a factory color. I made a mobile base out of plywood to move the jointer around. I attempted to accent the base with the lines of the jointer. I think it came out really well.

Comments: The day I brought it home. While it didn't look bad. There was multiple layers of paint and I did not like the sheet metal for the dust collection.
