Old a87 parks woodworking combo machine

[David Larry Smith]

Hi I'm wondering if any member has and uses a vintage parks a87 combination saw? I have one and think they are quite the machine--mine has a large rip saw, a large cutoff saw, a 12" joiner, a dado arbor, a 24" throat band saw, approx 18" disk sander, and a drill press that makes square holes for carriage bolts-or slots. I think I am missing the mortise and tenon atachment. this saw was made in the 20s and was used with flat belt--but I installed a 5hp electric motor. it is all one machine and top is made from channel irons so it is pretty heavy(approx 3 1/2 x 8') ---I also have an old crescent double arbor table saw with approx 3'x4' table top that runs with flat belt..are there any members that restore and use these? Dave
