Picked up this machine, but it has a few problems.
Removed the table for transport to save it from getting broken, but I suspect somebody didn't in the past as one of the cast iron table supports has snapped off.
Judging from the rust I'd say its been like that for a long while.
Pondering the best way to repair it - I imagine attempting to weld it is going to be recipe for disaster - I'm thinking tig braze with a couple of thin fishplates either side?
I can't imagine it takes that much load - unless somebody drops the machine on it.
