Local machine, purchased of ebay from widow of previous owner. Overall in decent condition and mostly complete. However, could benefit from thorough restoration.

With work demands and other of life's claims on time, that restoration ended up taking approx. a year and a half. A fuller story of that process can be found here:

Color matched to original W-T green/gray. Black trim color as original. All hardware replated with nickel plate as original. Replaced missing bottom board on stand with quarter sawn, 5/4 fir to match original top board. Removed 1/2 hp motor fitted when found and replaced with 1/3 hp W-T motor, a more appropriate size. 1/2 hp motor will move to another W-T machine. Lamp mounting is original for machine, however lamp itself is not, having been repurposed from a sewing machine and fitted to the W-T swivel mount. Knurled knob on motor shaft is not original, but my addition to enable moving lower blade chuck up/down when fitting blades.
