Comments:

I bought this machine recently in Milwaukee WI from a man who inherited it from his neighbor, the original owner. It never left his basement shop in the 75+ years he owned it. It is the earlier version with the open back base casting. As far as I can tell it is all original. Nothing has been repainted, it has the original bearings, wiring, tires and belt. The only thing really missing is the wooden motor shaft protector/condom, so if you have one to spare, please contact me.

All the parts are in amazing condition, so all I did was clean it up a bit and wax what I could to give it some protection. Since there are very few of these remaining in this condition, I'll be preserving it until I find the next person to carry the torch.
