Comments:

I purchased this machine from an automobile restoration facility in Tacoma, Washington. I believe the owner at the time was the second owner of this machine. I happened upon an advertisement for this machine for sale and immediately purchased it. It presented with exceptionally clean, original paint. The table was in excellent condition. Badging was all in excellent condition as well as a fairly intact "Patents pending decal." The "retirement" housing was unfortunately damaged. I have already sourced a replacement. The original Cutler Hammer knife switch was absent and bypassed by an added, period appropriate art deco style Cutler Hammer start stop switch mounted in a junction box secured via two metal straps attached to the motor mount.
