Machine Information
Serial Number:	7483-A
Machine Type:	Jointer
Machine Description:	8" Delta/Crescent Jointer
Owner:	Michael Levine
Manufacture Date:	1951
Notes:	This machine came from the second owner, a lumber yard - complete with it's cast iron/aluminum base. It has the crescent vee ways, the crescent fence, 4 knife cutter head, and the total bed length is 60", 62" or so with the gap included.It has the silver-chrome zamak handwheels. The only missing part is one saturn knob, and a few screws for the base. Most interstingly this jointer sports a tag from the original owner, local utility, VEPCO. This is screwed to the base and states "installed 2-1952." So, while it is possible it is an early 1952 machine, I would guess it was born in 1951.
