Josh has a filer for sale in Decatur, IL. Apparently, it was in his basement when he moved into his new house. What luck! If only I could find real estate where they were leaving 20" Moak jointers and Tannewitz bandsaws for the new owners...

It looks like a model 200, but I could be wrong. The carrier bars are MIA, but if you read my past posts, you'll see instructions on how to make them.
Also, it looks like the rubber drive wheel which transmits power from the motor to the flywheel has disintegrated. You have a couple of options in that case:
1) Find a new wheel from Foley Belsaw. You'll need to call them directly as these parts are no longer listed online. You might be able to retrofit a rollerblade wheel for this purpose.
2) Make a riser block for the motor to give it a couple inches of clearance off of the flywheel. Then, add a pulley to the driveshaft and get a v-belt from Tractor Supply Co. or the autoparts store. The older models all used pulleys and v-belts.
Someone better snatch this one up. It looks to be in pretty good shape (aside from the drive wheel). It's up to you to haggle with Josh on the price.
