Hello all,
I picked this up machine from a friend who owns an antique shop. She wants to save the base, refinish it, put a top on it and display small items on it. I think this is the worst case of neglect I have ever seen. Has anyone seen worse?

I've seen similar on Craigs List for a truly unreasonable amount of money. I don't think I've seen worse short of a fire that 10x posted about though.
It can be made to run again but it would be a labor of love or just because you can.
If you want a custom painted machine, that's a good candidate.

Current plan is to Kroil all bolt and nut connections and let it soak for about 1 week then I will remove the head and set it aside for a while and sandblast the base and see what I need to do in order to ready it for a table top.
