I picked up this beauty for only $75 off Craigslist this weekend. Everything seems to be in good shape except for nicks on the blades about 4” out. It’s missing the blade guard for when you move the fence in, but other than that has everything else, as far as I can see. The power switch is attached with duct tape, but I will remedy that as well. Now for the tool p0rn!

blades are cheap. those look to be too far gone to fix. Mine is not as old but I love it. It does not have a fancy name but it produces a face 90 degrees to an edge.

jumbojack: do you get replacement blades directly from Sears or do you get some other brand?

I have seen a LOT of old Craftsman jointers. But never one with a base like that. Very unique! I would love to see it restored. It looks good now. With a little de rusting, some new knives, paint etc… I bet that will look fantastic! And probably work better than it looks…

I have gotten them from sellers on ebay, but the last two I got directly from Sears. No hassle 5 day delivery.

Awesome machine!!! Looks to be in pretty good shape too. You’ll need new knives; check out Global Tooling. I was really happy with their service.
