Notes:	I’m puzzled by the serial number. It doesn’t appear to match any of the known formats for Powermatic planers. I got it for free from my brother-in-law who picked it up at a school auction in Texas and had one of his trucks bring it back to Kansas for use while building a house in the 80s. He said he used it a couple of times then stored it in the farm shop, where I picked it up. It was originally pea green,but I liked the gold better - so its gold now.
