I bought this machine from Mike Danford in July 2007. It is the second DP head from the left in this entry: http://www.owwm.com/photoindex/detail.aspx?id=7180. As a head off a production table, I needed to build a table to mount it on. This one has a frame mostly made of red oak, with three drawers for drill & router bits and shaper cutters, and two open casting tablesaw extension wings around a replaceable MDF strip. It has a 1-1/2 hp Valley Electric 3ph, 220V, 1750 rpm motor. I replaced the starter with a VFD since I don't have 3ph in the basement. Total spent on the restoration was about $500, including the purchase price of the DP.

Comments: Reeves pulley from motor. There is only _one_ set screw, and it can be pulled from the notch in the collar between the spring and motor. Then whole pulley can be removed.
