I purchased the planer from a individual located in Ocean Springs, MS that was a group of 3 machines he was selling for $700 (for all 3). The machine had an almost-new 5 hp single-phase baldor motor, but needed to be cleaned, sand-blasted and repainted. The machine was in very good condition with no worn or broken parts. I repainted it with the new gold Powermatic paint color. I installed new cutter head bearings and belts. The machine looks and runs like-new again.
