Comments:

The 8-B I have was made in 1951 and shipped to the Better Built Door Company in Egg Harbor City, NJ. The building in which the 8-B was housed burned in 2010. It is unclear when the Better Built Door Company went out of business. I purchased the planer from an individual in Rochelle, VA in 2014

Comments: The planer came with new sprockets, bearings and chain. The gentlemen selling it was in the process of rebuilding it when I bought it. He sold it due to health issues.

Comments: So far the only thing I know that is missing is the jointer for the side cutters. Not sure where I am going to find one of those.
