Seller's information:

Powermatic Model 26B Auto Shaper, S/N 8526169. 1" diameter spindle. 5 hp, 3 phase motor. Auto copy feature with template following system.

Claimed new cost was > $8000 (may have included some tooling?)

I did not buy this machine but was intrigued because I have an ordinary model 26 but had never heard of / seen an autoshaper.
