Hi, I just found this on Craigslist and decided it would be a fun Covid-winter project. So far all I know is that the person selling it bought it at auction and then re-listed it.
Update with the new photo's after somewhere around 10 hours worth of sanding with a random orbital and many different grits. I just ordered new knives after getting a great website recommend from a fellow on here!! Thanks. Now the last wrinkle is a small stop fell out during cleaning and I'm quite reluctant to take the entire adjustable table off trying to get it reinstalled. I'm going to see if I can get it co-planar by trail and error and then lock in in position. We'll see how it goes.
