Hey NCjeeper , is your table-drive ratchet cast iron or ZAMAK ?

Not sure I will have to check.

I cant post photos since photobucket required a ransom from everyone. I can take some and send them to a forum member if they have the ability to post them.
Also checking it out more thorough I found the number "10" on the back of the body behind the motor. It is not a cast number but was added after. Could this be the serial number and this actually be number ten?

 

[NCjeeper]

Its cast iron.

Thanks Brino. Looking at the early photos of the one restored, Mine looks like that except my table is not open at the bottom it is a cube. Also I have the 2 small round atlas badges not a rectangular one. This is starting to get interesting.

Will this help? Kind of goofy, but it says if there's no separate plate the serial number can be found on the left frame way. It is from a later parts diagram than yours, however. I just thought it might be a long shot.



That's really weird that you can't post photos here -- you're a Premium Member with lots of posts. What's up with that?
