Acquired through the 'bay and picked up in Cleveland with the help of a friend. Placed it backside down in a pickup bed. To get it into my shop I slid it down some 2 x 12s and lifted it upright with a hoist. 1/2 hp Westinghouse single phase motor. Its complete and in good shape. Don't anticipate any major restoration. I spent a morning cleaning the table, changing the cord and lubricating the ways and threads, and its pretty much ready to go.
