I found this machine through Eric Tuck, who in turn found it through Smitty. It was sitting in a guy's shop down in Missouri just collecting dust. Nathan Genke was driving down to Missouri in a couple weeks and he brought it all the way back to Wisconsin for me. All in all, it was a model of good timing and great members.

According to Doug Westlind, it's going to be a bear to restore. Apparently they are well worth the effort though. I can't wait to tear into it and get it cleaned up.

Thanks again Eric, Smitty and Nathan!
