Uh.. Duct tape?

Cleaned up.

Haven't touched the lower tubes or the planer but this looks like a totally different machine now.

Tried to grab a picture

On a separate note, I've starting cleaning off the rest of the pieces. The planer looks like hell, but the blades appear to be in good shape. I'm cleaning all the body pieces making it look at purdy as possible.

Front to back on the left third of the table. When I asked the guy who have it to me, he said it was used for storage and things were piled on top of it. It makes it a challenge getting the motor connected to the bandsaw.

Ok. There are grooves/ridges on the tubes.

The way tubes are pitted pretty bad. I'm hoping after the cleaning they will come out usable.

Bandsaw is pretty much perfect!

I think I should hit the tubes next.

I definitely have a bunch if parts, large & small, that need some type of treatment.

The PVC tube idea seems great and electrolysis isn't difficult.

My next steps:

Bandsaw inspection and test
Get an exact inventory of what the hell I have.
Determine best rust removal options for what pieces.

Put it back together and the speed adjustment is a lot smoother.
