Comments:
Found on Craigs List in Hays, Ks and purchased for $75. PO said it came from a local school shop auction. My brother-in-law from Downs picked it up for me and stored it in his farm shop till I could get it. I’ll prolly find another with some parts I need and one of the two will turn into a parts machine. As you can see by the photos, the table on this one is in pretty bad condition.

The date was obtained from Wiki right here on the Mother Ship.

Comments: In my brother-in-law’s shop. Note the clown colors. Appropriate since some clown brazed two bolts thru the holes in the pulley guard. Presumably to attach a now long gone belt guard. Saveable - maybe…

Comments: I’m intrigued by that on/off switch box but haven’t researched it enough yet to know if its original. I do know the switch has been replaced and the on/on push rod is missing.

Comments: Yeah - the third “1” on the tag is kinda hard to read, but I think one can clearly infer that it is, in fact, the number one.
