It looks like an early 10E based on the quill advance.
If it is low enough, I might even want to preserve it myself. I have #1414 and looking for even earlier.

Could that pulley attache to the motor and act as a jack shaft to for other accessory. The arm could have left it pivot into palcae?? I seem with failed memory that I saw attachment driven by pulley instead of power couplers??????

The existing table is used for the jigsaw by changing the insert slot with a hole in center and a cut out running parallel to the ways.

The picture in the first post shows it fairly well. I suspect was swung out toward the back and use as a jack shaft to increase the range of speeds available, but no way to know for sure.chapmanruss wrote:Without better pictures it is hard to say what the extra pulley is for. It may be simply stored on that extra arm and used on the motor shaft for extra speeds. It may go in the middle somewhere to adjust the speeds. It does look like a 2",3", 4", 5" step pulley that could be used on the motor to drive a Magna 4E Jointer but there no jointer parts on this machine. We may never know.
The owner did want a "beefy" extension table having added the "C" channel to it.
