Bentel and Margedant 9" Jointer

[Ben Darrah]

I am looking at buying this jointer. It looks like the company closed in 1918. I'm looking for info on this machine. It doesn't match other photos of the companies jointers that I've found online. I'm guessing that it originally did not have a motor and ran on an industrial belt line. Any info would appreciated.

Info on these up to page 8, I also have a catalog from about 1880, and 5 of their machines.

I wished that machine was closer, like to have another.
I need to make new arbor for mine and repour all 3 bearings.
