Notes: Source=Owner's submission (admin added date based on s/n). Owner's notes: I purchased this machine 25 to 30 years ago it was in poor condition and mounted on a filing cabinet and angle iron frame, it didn't run very well so was left unused. As I worked in a engineering shop l had access to most machines so it wasn't needed. I have now retired and to give me something to do in this covid19 I have started to refurbish this machine as a project. There are a number of things that aren't original so I am trying to find out what's incorrect on this machine, I realize I will not be able to restore it completely to it original condition but as near as possible the web is a great help. When complete will send picture.
