I purchased this locally in NC. Was in fairly good shape. It had some rust issue, paint job was gone. But it was plug and play. It is a 3 blade cutterhead. The bearings were slightly stiff, they needed to be cleaned out and re-packed with grease. The orginal bearing are as good as new.
I like the fence it goes the whole length of the joiner. One of the end results when I was finished restoring the joiner is that it know can pass the coin test. This will become my main joiner. That is until I can find a nice aircraft carrier joiner.
