Almost all original except for Jan 46 Craftsman Motor. I replaced the Craftsman motor with a modern Dayton 1/2 HP Type 48 Frame. A man in my woodturning club had passed away about a year ago (2023). His wife was selling his equipment. Not sure if he bought it originally or was inherited from his father. The machine is in almost perfect shape. I disassembled it and cleaned and oiled everything. Will use for chair making. The serial number registry here on the site dates to Tupelo 1973. It is a Rockwell Manufacturing brand. I have the original stand and took it apart and cleaned it. There is some rust on the front legs and am deciding if I will strip it and repaint it. Will likely just put it back together and use it as is. The owner had a homemade roller stand that I will clean up and paint and use. It is angle iron welded together and has small casters that do not lock. Will replace those casters with ones that lock.
