Purchased for $20 in September, 2009 from the original owner's son via CL. The original owner was a machinist who purchased this planer at Sears. SN 2421. CL ask was $40, but came down when son found the table raising wheel frozen and the motor missing. The wheel was then unfrozen and the motor shown below turned up, but the ask remained $20. I felt kind of bad, but since I hadn't mentioned or negotiated price at all (so low to start) I didn't argue either. I also walked away with a "vintage" Craftsman 6 inch jointer and two other motors for an additional $20. The planer has been idle for 15 years sitting in the original owner's basement. The table was frozen to the left column. The motor shown may be original, but the mechanism in the base indicates a different motor was substituted somewhere along the way. I plan restoration at least to a functional state, but I have four other functional owwm acquired this summer (not counting the jointer above) that need my attention so I can actually do some woodworking before tackling this non-functional planer.
