Hello,
I am inquiring about information regarding a shaper machine made by Porter Cable; pre-Logan buy-out in the 1950's. With all the research I have been able to acquire into this piece of machinery there are only a handful of examples still in existence today.
The best guess the family has is it is a 1948 Porter Cable AS-7 Shaper (metal). It is in working condition and what appears to be the original paint. If possible, I would like more information about this shaper.
My father passed away and the family hasn't a need for most of the shop. Although the machine is for sale (essentially the whole shop is too), we would like to try and locate a buyer who is interested in using it or owning it rather than it just go to the scrap yard. It was his pride and joy and it ran on a nearly daily basis to shape odd pieces of metal to be used in his various projects. Enclosed are pictures of the machine from each angle, and the serial number which appears to be #367, but zooming in shows the 3 is offset from the 67.
Thank you.
