This is a 1945'ish 3hp, 220v, 3ph machine. The paint on the sheetmetal parts of the guards is peeling badly making it look a bit ragged. In reality it is pretty good project machine. The only issues I can think of off hand are:
-the brake pedal linkage has been broken, brazed, and rebroken. all the parts are there and could be fixed probably easiest with some bolted on splints or a quality welding job.
-It needs a new backup bearing for the upper guide.
The machine is otherwise complete and if you don't mind the garish green paint could be cleaned up and used. On the plus side the original miter gage is present and the fence rails are present (no fence though). The motor is fine.
