I pulled it apart and cleaned the pinions and the teeth
on the table tubes
. Hit them w/a little silicone and
it's just like new.
A not uncommon problem.
..........well, after having slowed down enough to actually read the
maintanence documentation, I see that.
Noobs....what are you going to do?
You guys are too kind. Thanks!

I didn't see a date in the catalog, but VintageMachinery.org says it was published in 1959.

With a 3/4 hp motor that is likely accurate.
