Sometimes I just can't seem to help myself LOL

Well I FINALLY, laboriously, got it torn down, some of it cleaned, and hauled, piece by piece, down to the basement where it will live. I don't have the time to restore it, and I wanted to get it together and make some test runs to see "where we are" on accuracy, wear, condition.

I did get the bed cleaned, and the tray is rusty, but cleaner than it was. I'm about beat tonight, but hope to actually make some chips tomorrow

If you compare to the original (Craigslist) photos, you can see the carriage, apron, ad bed are LOTS cleaner than they were. The compound on there right now is off the old 30's vintage 9". I thought it might be in better shape, but the slot is smaller, and the present tool post won't fit.
