Got this piece, and a few others out of my father in laws rotted/collapsing wood shop. His grandfather had purchased new, presumably in or close to his home in Uniontown PA. Grandfather, at some point, had removed and discarded the foot powered components and replaced with a washing machine motor (I've got it also). I however, would like to restore it to its original "peddle powered" condition, and as this was sold a a combination machine with optional boring machine and jig saw attachments I'd like to find those parts as well. As can be seen, however, I've got a long way to go. The serial number mentioned in the header is the number stamped into back of the table top and just barely legible. If anyone has any info regarding parts, component drawings, or just good advice (lots of that here!) I'd love to here from you.
