Notes: |
Bought for $300 off a kid that wanted to buy rims with the money from selling the drill press given to him by his Grandfather. Was in very dirty, but mechanically sound shape when purchased. Cleaned up, gone through, and added VFD to run off 120v single phase power. This is another one of the confusing PM machines where the serial number would normally date it to 1956, but the head casting dates to a 1966 style. Other oddities include 2-handle variable speed control and original gray paint, making it that much more confusing to pin down the actual date of manufacture; 1966 is the best educated guess from the group on OWWM.
