1966 Unisaw Refub #1: What a find!

On a whim, I typed in “Unisaw” into the DC CL search and this popped up. $150 was his asking price, and I was the first to call. By the time I got to his house four hours later (after work, and it was 1.5 hours to his house), a dozen had called. The seller was really nice in both holding it AND not raising the price on me.

He wasn’t home, but his wife and son were there to help load it. They bought it about 15 years ago with him saying, “I’ll get it running one day.” That day never happened, and he found a brand new Uni that he loved and jumped on it.

His wife and son were really nice, friendly folk, and Shyanne got to run around on the farm, chasing chickens, while we loaded it up.

I don’t know any details, aside from the fact that it’s a 3ph motor. I’ll find out age, etc., later on, and decide whether I’ll get a phase converter or replace the motor with a 1ph 220V piece.

I’m really, really happy right now. And in a bit of shock.
