This machine was bought off Ebay in Novermber 2009 for $280 from a guy in Livingston Manor, NY. He acquired it from the Tri-Valley HS nearby. 3/4hp Howell Motor, came with the original banjo, tailstock, knock out bar, wrench, 6" tool rest, and manual. The manual has probably never been opened, or at least never used for anything.
