This is from Jim Wisner:
LeeRoy, my father bought that machine used sometime in 1979. It came out of Oregon, it was made in a machine shop, all 1/4" and or 1/2" plate, angle and tubing, all bolted together.
Wisner's Gun Shop had it until the fall of 1994 when Ed Hilton in Federal Way WA, bought it as LeeRoy was closing the Gun Shop down.
I operated it from 1979 to 1986, I lost track of how many patterns there was, but it was more than a full size truck bed of patterns when LeeRoy sold the machine.
It had four spindles when LeeRoy sold it, I see only two on the machine currently. The head stock has worm gears, to rotate all five drive centers at the same time. The Chain visable in the picture, works two threaded shafts that move the tail stock front to rear, as it can take up to a 44 inch long stock if I recall.
I had heard that it was in storage up north by Port Angeles.
