Style 2C plates were made of "oilboard" (dense coated cardboard) and measured 3/4" x 3" with rivet holes spaced the same as the first style plates. Style 2B plates were made of steel, appeared in 1942, and are quite rare. It is likely that the plate shown above originally had a red background. We have seen two other examples of a brass plate, one of which has red-painted background and the other has traces of red paint remaining. Style 2A plates were made of brass plate and are from late 1941 or early '42. Style 2 plates are from the World War II era, and are made from one of three materials: brass, steel or oilboard. This style was used beginning circa 1939-1940 to sometime in 1942 (probably early 1942), and then again from sometime in 1944 to late 1947. Style 1 plates were made of aluminum and measured 1/2" X 3" with rivet holes approximately 2 3/4" on center.

Probably be about $600 into into by time all fixed up, and will have made lots of little things (adjuster knobs for upper guides, lock collars for lower guides, table insert, table align pin, make long tension rod and hardened nut, couple bushings, and return a couple steps on the new pulleys to make belt fit every step the same). Have it all torn apart, with replacement parts / bearings arriving this weekend. Rest of unit was well used / abused and jerry rigged. Will be replaced with HF 1 hp compressor motor(still have $100 gift card). Since original motors were 1725 rpm, it is going away without replacing the cap. Motor does not run, just hums, wired for 220, and 3450 rpm, with capacitor rated 110 v. From the three pictures, was obvious it was missing both step pulleys and upper blade guide at minimum, so took a chance for cheap.
