Purchased sight-unseen by absentee bid from an auction of surplus goods at Washington State University in Pullman, WA, where it was used in the carpentry shop. When I picked it up the machine was covered in coagulated oil. A few hours of elbow grease revealed a near-pristine mortiser. It came with 3 sizes of tooling. Although the chains are all in good shape the roller bearings at the tips of the bars all show evidence of overheating.
