I picked up this machine last weekend with a view to doing a restoration job on it once I've finished the Eagle Surface Grinder. It has a base which I removed to make it a bit more stable for transport.
Its only a 10" stroke model, but its still heavy enough to make it worthwhile dragging the engine crane and pallet truck along for the ride:
The base can easily be lifted by 2 people, but the top weighs in at about 350kg. Here it is stowed for transport:
Its now sitting in my garage waiting for me to strip it down, fix it up and give it a coat of paint:
Whilst I was picking it up, the chap selling it had several other bits of machinery. 2 were sold, but he had this little manually driven metal planer, like a toy version of the one that Keith Rucker is renovating on his Youtube channel. It seems in good nick, just needs a clean and a handle adding. The ways looked smooth and not at all pitted:
He hadn't put it on ebay as he wasn't sure what it was. If I had room for another machine I might have been tempted, but as I haven't, I offered to show these pics on this forum in case anyone would like to acquire it. If you're interested, PM me and I'll pass you his details. No idea how much he'll want for it, but its part of an estate sale.
