I just got back from picking up this vintage jointer for $75. It is in wonderful condition as-is but I will be doing a tear down to familiarize myself with it (my first jointer). LOVE that logo.

Awesome! I have (nearly) the same jointer - just an older version with the swirled aluminum trim and older badge. It weighs a ton doesn't it? But I love how it looks on the original stand.
Hopefully your resto calls for a different coat of paint?

Well, someone was a little too attached to Institutional Green. 
That should be a great machine once you get it cleaned up.

Nice, usually the belt cover is gone, along with other things but that one looks pretty complete. I had an older one with the aluminum trim like CK but the table dovetail was broken and they were more than I wanted to pay at the time for something I probably won't use much. I ended up parting it out, still have the stand though.
Owner told me this came out of UC Berkeley's wood shop about 10 years ago.bubinga

"Top cleaned" how please? nice work!
Thanks! Nothing unusual. A 15min soak in a penetrating oil, scrape with a razor blade get off all the larger rust spots then 3 grits of steel wool with a final coat of a dry silicone spray (couldn't find my paste wax). It isnt perfect and there is a ring on the back table that will need some more sanding. But the top is nice and flat and will work well.
