Thanks Hendeyman,
What a great amount of information! I purchased it in 1997 at a second hand store north of Clare, Michigan. The back of the building had been a machine shop, run by a retired machinist who had passed away. I have all the items in the list with it. Was under power when I bought it. I plan on restoring it for my retirement machine shop.
Thanks again,
Kevin
