Mike sent me a photo of the reworked crown iron.
Here is the only shot I could find of before.
Here is a shot of the work so far!!!!
Looking good I think.
From what I gathered from the Major that everything on it will be original including the motor!

I enjoy seeing machinery being restored and put back to its original intended use, and I have the utmost respect for guys that know how to do it and what to do with it when they get it restored.
Double That !

I just went back through this thread and noticed the treadle mechanism that "powers" that Singer 107-1. In my book, that's preferable to a motor.

Love it! When I was over there in December? He was working on the brim sander? It looked like it was getting close to working. I hope it all eventually gets back in operation.
