Comments:

Found on the side of the road with a "Free" sign. No restoration, just fixed the wiring, took it apart, spent some time with a wire wheel, and cleaned out the internal workings and gave it a liberal application of oil and grease. Possibly has a replacement motor (3/4 HP Craftsman, date code 1952). New V-belt soon, but runs great. This waws a really nice find for my shop.
