What? The sign? Or the logo on the sign? The logo on the sign is a man planing a board on a bench. It's not translating to 3D very well. After I finished it, I wondered if it would have been better to engrave into the wood rather than make the letters raised.
Google McLean's Refinishing and you'll see Fred's website with the logo.

I am a big supporter of the CW. Welcome to CW Ownership. I post on the CW forum under Digitalwoodshop and I am a phone call or email away for fix it advice.
And your correct... Parting out the machine on eBay will likely net you more money then selling the machine.
Chuck, Belts, A907 14 pin FSC Cable, Glued power supply L2 Coil, Glued C1 Cap on the X Termination Board, and either a replacement or glued Board Sensor and you are good.
The Sears deal was a blessing and a disaster... Blessing... National Exposure... Disaster... Purchasing a large Block of machines that had some problems. Until all the large block of machines got the fix over time, it was bad publicity over and over... not to mention the Sears Easy Exchange Policy. Rather than fixing the problem, many just returned it for a new one as the kid in the Tool Department didn't want to loose the commission out of his next check...
I got the Fixes from LHR and have been a happy user of 4 machines.
Good Luck,
