I got a '50s Walker - Turner 6" jointer through craigslist for $85. Here's the original post... http://familywoodworking.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2140
I've had it in the trunk of my car, since it's real heavy...but my neighbors have been gone, so there it stayed. I finally got a Sears stand, drilled and mounted a Herc-U-Lift mobile base on the legs and got it together. Today, I rolled the stand out to the drive, wrestled the jointer out of the trunk and onto the stand. It is now safely tucked away in my shop, awaiting clean-up. I'd really like to take it completely apart, Zap it in an electrolosis bath and repaint....but I've got so many other projects going, I might never get it back together till Fall! So, I think I'll just clean the table, get the knives sharpened, and wire brush some of the surface rust off. I've plugged it in, and it runs just fine...very smooth.
