This machine belongs in a museum. It is a 100% original 68 year old woodworking machine. It has it's minor scuffs and mars and I'm certain I could improve it's appearance with a slick new paint job but that would be downright criminal abuse. I can't imagine how a cleaner original example could exist. The only thing I have done besides a dry rag wipe down was to disassemble the motor and remove the mouse motel and it's recently deceased occupants (by electrocution I'm thinking). This will go down in my personal history as the fastest restoration, 2 days from when I bought it to fully operational.
