Comments:
In many ways, this is a "frankenshaper" built through the accumulation of parts from perhaps as many as 12 different sources/people/machines. The main cabinet and internals of the machine came from a local OWWMer, who had already obtained parts such as dust doors, handwheels, fence, base and others over time. Other parts were then obtained as part of my restoration process, resulting in a fully reconstructed machine. It's now up and running in my shop.
