Wow. This is some machine, or collection of machines. No planer, but a jointer! Checked the serial # to find it was built in 1959. Looks newer, but the green paint confirms date. 3/4 HP with high speed portal for jointer. Still needs some cleaning up, but will be ready to turn away the winter withdrawals from fishing! The original owner was a California engineer who built scaled models for the aviation industry, so there is a huge amount of stuff he collected for me to go through.
Next will be finding AYC, maple, what else? Then is anyone interested in pooling together so we can split up orders on lips, wire, eyes, whatever. If we could package the items as one unit, it might be more economical, especially the time running around.
Anyone have interest in something like this?
