Aquired this SS off eBay from a nice young man in Long Island. It apparently belonged to his Grandfather and was in his basement when he and his bride moved in.

After many years of nonuse it is badly corroded and a couple castings broke on the ride home to Maine. The way tubes will be getting a nice spooge bath soon and the rest will be cleaned up as best I can in preparation for a new paint job (the original shade of green). The power head is actually in good shape and she only needs a new wire harness as the original cord and switch is shot. Right now she's a sad bastard but will become the beauty she once was when I get the time to work on her.

It only came with the Table Saw attachments and I hope to find a Band Saw and Lathe parts vintage to the machine to use it as my light duty BS and Lathe.

I'll post pics as soon as I can.
