Comments:
This was purchased from a man that bought from a business that was closing in Tacoma, WA in the early 70s. He stated that he never did much to it and used it to make toys for the grandkids. It came set up with a 3/8" blade, an older Delco sleeve bearing 3/4hp motor and a 12" pulley driven by a 2.75" pulley. The machine came with an old plywood table, which I replaced. The table trunnion seems to suggest that it was designed for an owner built table.
