Does it work? Yes it does now, all free and running!! Been outside for a good few years by all accounts and in remarkable condition all considered. I must admit that I rather like it, if only I could use use for my joinery works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 there where some amazingly engineered machines & castings back in the day. And despite it being shown in an era when its no longer needed, I bet not one of us looked at that without a bit of nostalgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
