Acquired from Craigslist in Staten Island NY. PO was closing up shop after 3 generations of his contracting business. Machine was acquired from a shop he described as a "religious factory," of some sort??

Machine was very crusty but below said crust and 70 years of cutting fluid mist was factory paint and preserved arn. Came with replacement 1/4HP motor and single speed motor pulley. Sourced replacment 5 speed cone pulley on BOYD as well as a couple other small parts. Overall, despite the haggard looking condition the machine was actually in great shape, just took some elbow grease to find it. Machine was fully torn down, cleaned up and re-painted in January/February 2023. Awaiting replacement motor but ready to work!
