I don't know what to say, I've been looking for a planer for years and kind of stumbled on this one. If I knew about this a few days ago I would have changed my plans. I would be happy to meet you or your son, I don't know any others in the area that are into machining. My father lives in portland and I go down there every few months. I'm sorry about the confusion, I really did not know anyone else was interested. The owner of the planer just said somebody looked at it before me, and thought parts were missing.
