Almost passed on this one... wasn't sure what I would be getting in to. Called a fellow owwm'er and he persuaded me to pick it up. It came on the option bolt-together flared foot stand. The paint was all orignal, the patent decal was 99% intact and had a nifty shop made light attached. The switch is period, but is just a toggle switch. It was full of sawdust and needed a good cleaning. It needed new bearings, new tires and a better mount for the *heavy* 3/4HP Century motor. I managed to screw up the paint while trying to clean it with rubbing alcohol, so now I'm tearing it down to do a complete restoration. Just need to figure out how to preserve the patent tag....
