It's missing the crank and feedscrew. The screw isn't a big deal, but the crank will be tough to make.

I have one of serial 263.

When he says early, He just means generally old. He found it at a goodwill and doesn't know anything about it. I've talked to him about it.

The thing is completely useless unless you have a spare crank and screws (which I do). Hopefully people realize this is a big project that will require a significant amount of money to get running again.

Another huge problem is finding a head for it.
