I recently picked up a 1965 Maka SM6 mortiser (the manual non pneumatic version) in a local auction at a good price. From my initial quick inspection I would say that the unit is "complete" and in "fair" condition, but clearly need some TLC if not a full rework. Luckily the unit came with 10 chisels so that alone is worth the price I paid ;-)
Naturally I have seen Brian Holcombe's amazing restoration of one and can only dream of doing something similar. That said I am definetly going to go through the machine, replace bearings and other obvious wear items to make sure the unit is serviceable. I'll try and document the process as much as possible once I get into it. However for now it will have to wait it's turn as it will be at least 3 months before I have time to properly tinker with it.
Meanwhile I was hoping that someone could point me in the direction of a manual and/or parts-list. Tips on what to look out for once I start the renovation is also appreciated.
