Comments:

Purchased this on eBay, took a road trip with Dad to Richmond, VA to pick it up. Runs beautifully. Motor was replaced at one time, it now sports a 3/4 HP, 3 phase Century.

It's a pile of parts awaiting a trip to the media blaster, then will get a new coat of paint, bearings and start making holes in things.

Has a tag on the head "BME 77". Not sure what BME stands for.
