Just finished this one a couple of days ago, Dunlap 80 series 12 1/4”. It’s almost all original down to the paint and I.D. tags (replaced worn shaft bushing). I have a few more on the to-do list. These things are addictive!
I bought the MB9200 MAC box in the center in 1991 with the NASCAR billboard decal, the top box is a limited edition S&S/MAC Tools chest that came with a complete set of tools, I believe around 2006. The side boxes are harbor freight.
I don’t have a facebook account but I saw these… I don’t know the model numbers, I think they made two versions, 103.0303 and 103.0305,,, I don’t know what the difference is between the two 2️⃣
Such fantastic machines posted, I don’t know if mine is worthy.
It’s a 1987 Craftsman 8 1/4 bought from the original owner. It was in near mint condition. I dusted it off, made a table and changed the blade.
Sometimes it’s easier and cheaper to find and buy a donor machine and transplant the parts you need. They only produced those for a few years so the cover alone could be way more expensive than a non-working or non-wanted machine. Make one good machine from the two. “Sometimes”
Picked this one up from an 86yr old man who said it was his father’s. His wife was having him downsize 😠. It’s a from what I can tell from the belt guard and the non-splined quill shaft an early Companion 11 3/4”.
I want to try to date it but, there is no tag nor holes for a tag. Another concern...
One of my favorite DP’s, a 1937 Craftsman 12 3/4”. It came with the K-C motor. I replaced the Craftsman feed handle hub with an Atlas one. The Dunlap water slide under the green paint puzzled me but it was original so I included it in the restoration.
