Believed to be early 1950s model (data plate is missing) . I bought this from the elderly widow of the original purchaser.
It's very heavy (80 to 90#) and photos don't do justice to its size.
Everything works (shroud lights activate via on/off switch)
Glass is all nice, appears original unmolested hardware.
Bearings are very smooth and quiet. It gets up to speed like a freight train and is very quiet and well balanced. Needs new wheels for safety sake..these appear very old.
Tried researching the brand here and at vintage machinery.org, best guesses are either a Queen City or Dorn due to the unique tool rests, and 3/4 or 1 hp due to heavy mass. It's singe phase .Pm for more owner history. Can deliver to between Sacramento and greater SF Bay Area. Thanks , Shawn

Update: a fellow GJ mate has a good friend with a small collection of old Baldors. He saw the photos and is confident it's an early 1950s Baldor original benchtop model, mostly as the side covers and tool rests look like his older Baldors. Definitely 3/4 to 1 horsepower.
