Machine Description:	Shaper 7
Owner:	Ken VanMoorhem
Manufacture Date:	1979
Notes:	Source=Owner's submission. Owner's Comments: I was told that the shaper was purchased in a government auction out of "cheese cloth storage" there's no sign that this machine has ever been plugged in or run up to the time of my purchase. At the time I'm typing this I haven't plugged it in yet. There's no marks on the ways or on the working table. All accessories were still in their boxes and stapled shut. It came with vise, rotary table, indexing centers, tool post tool holder, tool holder extension, and three packs of three pre-ground HHS various wrenches and t-bolts
