Date of Manufacture?

[Royce Quiring]

New to the forum and would like to know if any one can help me with a question. I just finished a restore or a clean up of a Powermatic / Houdaille 6 inch jointer that had a lot of rust from just sitting around for the last 15 years (surface rust only). The question is can any one tell me what year it was manufactured? thank you for your time270453

Royce.......another possible source of information is OWWM dot org. OWWM is a 4 letter acronym for Old Wood Working Machines. If you don't get an answer here try that forum.

What Ken said but I think the paperwork you're looking for is on the Vintage Machinery site. I think it's on the Wiki there.
