Obtained this planer just outside Tarrytown, NY along with a Northfield #4 table saw. All original, Louis Allis 5hp 3phase DMD motor. Broken handle on the chipbreaker, does not affect function. Looking for the quicksharp grinder accessory. Works very well. Spent most of it's life in Brooklyn, NY. Plan to fully disassemble and restore.

A post discussing this restoration is available here:
