Looks greatJust picked this up and doing initial assessment. This one has sat and somewhat comparable to the 1928 I have done previously.
First thing I do is spray everything down liberally with PB Blaster to start working the rust and loosening anything that may be stuck.
By the serial, it would appear to be a 1941 or 1942. The floor mount motor and jackshaft assembly is rare. Right now the headstock, tailstock, backgear, ect. is not freely moving. Nor is the compound. I do have the gear cover as well.
I will be breaking down, cleaning, and rebuilding everything that is required. New felt and cord is needed throughout. Have not decided if i will blast and paint.

Now just paint and cleaning it will worth about $1,800 to 2,200
It tapper attachment that makes the difference in price.
