This all started when I found a surplus auction site. I found the first PM141 on the site (not feebay). Got it for $50, but it was missing the table and trunions. I started asking around and had some parts lined up, but then found a complete sad bastid locally for $250.00, which needed it's previously broken and welded trunions re-broken and welded straight. I used the table and trunions from that machine and parts of the first machine to make the final machine. The base was the bottom to a display found behind a sporting goods store. Casters were welded on. A dust door was fabricated. This is my 4th restoration and by far the most involved. LOTS of bolts to polish. She cuts great and is a very solid machine. These sold for around $3000 when last made in 1996 (right, Bob?) and I've got about $450 into it, total. Not bad! Thanks for looking.
