Comments:
Received as a gift from a friend. I checked the info and have determined that this unit may be earlier than 1928 due to various changes through out the design of the machine. It has a Century 1/4 hp motor.
The belt adjuster has a chome knob. This unit would have had a lead insert for the table blade slot.
It has been painted I am still determining what color it would have been originally. I think there is some reserch showing a blue. I would like to paint it red. Jury is still out on that one. It came with a home brew stand. Verry heavy need clened up and painted. The power switch has been replaced. The original
would have been bronze color and tinny looking. The unit was made for production work and it has a very solid frame. Much like the Cresent brand. Any way its my project for the future since I have to find a deal on the tires and blades. I will get the rest of it prepped and painted untill the parts are aquired.
