I picked this machine up from a fellow Owwmer. He had it in storage along with a treasure trove of old arn! It was exactly what I was looking for at the time. The history of it was that it was donated to Tustin high school and he got it from them, not much is known before that.

I took it home, stripped it down and gave it a full restoration. Color matched to factory colors and powered it up with a VFD. Already had a sheet metal dust collection hood that has worked great!The factory fence was concave by .038" but the PO had a fence from a 1970s Oliver that was a extact fit for it. It's a bit thicker piece of cast iron as well. I swapped out out the bakelite knobs for knurled ones to give it the factory look.

Will be in my shop for years to come.
