Jointer issues

I started cleaning the jointer that came with the Shopsmith I purchased a few weeks back. The fence is sitting up off the jointer table and is not correctly aligned. I hope the fence is not out of square. I know the quadrant assembly will need to be replaced. Also, the previous owner has really tigh...
