There is so much rust and it is only 3/4 HP I wouldn't pay more that $50 for it knowing it would involve many hours to restore.

It is an "A" headstock Greenie.

Nice project for someone.

I do not think the rust is all that pervasive.

A bit high $ though.

My '55 was a lot worse when I cleaned it up.

$300 is pretty typical for a machine in that condition (even low) for these parts.

Price is so location driven. I have seen machines with less in same or worse condition listed for more here in So Cal.
