Comments:

I restored a 8" Walker Turner TS and 70's Sears jointer and enjoyed it. I had a Model 50 offered to me for a old pump shotgun. Jointer was stored in a warehouse next to a concrete batch plant. A Taiwan 18" bandsaw and 12" planer in much worse shape stood nearby. The Model 50 was wired for 110 around the broken switch with part of extension cord. It looked like all the parts were there, none broken.
It ran smooth after a bit of concrete was removed from the cutter head. Motor is a Baldor 3/4 hp in good condition. Bought 6203rs Fafner/Timken bearings for the cutter head.
