picked up another one today didnt expect to find one so fast and so close. It is in full working as far as I can tell. This one has a speed changer it will be coming off and going on my first one .IT also had alot of small parts i didnt have and some that I needed because others were broken. It came with what I think is a shaper attachment. After more inspection Ill post more problems or findings.
Here are some pictures
and a close up of the serial number I remember someone saying they collect them it is 77624 it is less than 5000 unit older than my first one

Looks like it was maintained pretty well woodartist. Good find!!

Does the power cord go into an external switch?

Yes it does it is mounted on the side of the motor.The motor is not an original its a 1/3 horsepower its small dont know to much about the motors so I dont know if it is better or worse than the original?
After I did a little more inspecting it seem to be mechanically sound nothing bent or broken no rust inside the head stock all bolts and screws accounted for. Well at least on the machine its self. It is missing the piece to attach the upper saw guard.
The only spot with rust (atleast the only one so far) is on the feed pinion shaft.
I do have to take it apart and repaint it. Whoever painted it last time did a horrible job. They didnt use any primer ,didnt sand anything,and left oil on the parts and then painted right over it. I took the speed changer off to clean and paint black to match the one its going on. when I was washing it off the paint came right off without any effort just sprayed it with water.
Oh well I had fun doing the first one I dont mind jumping right on this one.

thanks I thought it was to small
