Found this in 2022, in west Tennessee, on Facebook Marketplace for $200.00. Only an hour and a half drive away. The seller acquired it in a package deal for other equipment, and he had no use for this jointer. The jointer was in great condition, other than looks. It had the original delta motor also. Someone had it apart at some time, and had the original power switch box installed on the inside, instead of the front part of the switch being on the exterior of the base. The delta switch plate cover was badly worn, and bent all over. It was missing one crank handle, but everything else was complete. I took the jointer off of the base, disassembled all pieces and cleaned, primed, and repainted it with Rust-Oleum Dark Machine Grey. I did the same for the cast iron base. It was in great shape, no cracks or extra holes to fix. It had the dust chute too. I replaced the belt, and power cord. It sits on a BORA mobile base, which makes it easy to move in my small shop. Sharpened the knives, and indexed them in properly
