Having just finished posting about my PM 66 restoration - http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?225722-Restoration-Powermatic-66 - and being asked about the jointer, I thought I would post a few shots of that process. This won't be NEAR as lengthy as the table saw, I assure you! :)
Just for those who may not have seen the table saw restoration, I loaned my saw and jointer to a friend who years later left them in an old building with a leaking roof. Here's a shot of bringing them home -

And with a generous coating of WD-40 -
303740
After some elbow grease and wet/dry papers -
303741
After several evenings and a weekend or two, both beds and fence cleaned -
303742
Here's what the cutterhead looked like -
303743
And this is how I cleaned it -
