Comments:

I just acquired this machine for free. It is very complete and came with a bunch of vice/table/etc assemblies. It is all complete and has a huge 1hp Century motor. To move it the 30 miles to my garage I disassembled it as much as possible. It took 3 guys lifting to load and unload it.

The specs for this machine per the general line catalogue are:
Weight: 1050lbs, without motor
Style: Clamp Table (extra)
Mortise Size: Up to 5/8" in hardwood, 3/4" in soft
Mortise Depth: Up to 3 1/2" deep
Range: To the center of 6 1/2" circle
Spindle speed: 3400 rpm

Plans are to fully disassemble, electrolysis, clean, polish, paint, then reassemble before August 2007.

More pics and info to follow.
