Comments:

Bought recently from a craigslist ad. Motor wiring was shorted and bearings were shot, but after a little work machine hums like a new one. Castings must be extremely hard as the table surfaces are glassy smooth and show absolutley no wear after probably three quarters of a century of wood sliding across them. 3HP, three knife round cutterhed with an unusual (to me anyway) method of clamping blades into the head. Dust chute looks a little less than ideal but otherwise a pretty nice machine.
