OK, its all over but the sweating to move the machine. Check has cleared the bank, sale is complete.
That said, I now have a few questions to those who may have information, or own, one of these machines.
Plan is, that as soon as the shaper is safely ensconced in my shop and leveled, I will clean it of all surface rust, dirt, and dried oil. Whilst doing that nasty little chore, I will also familiarize myself with the machine, and look for any obvious deficiencies, repairing as needed, along with installing new power cord and plug.
At that point, I will want to change the oil and clean the filter. I do not expect to have any problems with the filter, as I have done a little reading on CUNO filters. Changing the oil, and cleaning the sump will probably be a messy job, but if the machine is start its new life out fresh, this step is necessary.
Question is: what type of oil do these critters take? Also, approximately how much?
Further, I would also like to have a copy of the instruction/owners manual and parts list. There is a guy on E-fillet selling copies for a whopping $75. At this point, I am not ready to lay out that kind of bread for a copied manual.
Thanks folks!
