Never seen a speed changer mounted backwards before.

I bought one a while back, the guy had it mounted similar, I dont know if he actually used the S C to change speeds, or ran it just at a constant speed. I did not realize it till I started to set the whole thing up after cleaning and lubing, and installing new belts ect.

But it doesn't interfere with the headstock lock that way.

Greenie near Tulsa, OK. $200 Has joiner, sanding disc, dado, miter, tail-stock and tool rest, table, end table; seems to be complete. Way tubes are clean so it probably was cared for. Needs beautification. I'd buy it, keep the joiner and clean it up for resale if I had the space.

I wish I had the funds and space for this one.

It is near Ft. Walton Beach, here in the Florida panhandle. Somebody grab it, please.

db5: I talked to the guy who owns the Greenie near Tulsa. He is in Broken Arrow, said he bought it at a sale and now has some health issues and needs to raise some cash. I asked if the motor worked and he said he had never plugged it in, but would check and call me back, but I never heard back from him. I thought about restoring it and may try to recontact him later this week, but the fact that he failed to report on the motor makes me wonder.
