I found a CL post for "Vintage Woodworking Tools" which got my immediate attention. And it was only a couple miles away, and it was $50 per machine! They had posted terrible pictures and there was some obvious rust, with a picture of the old Grizzly badge - not exactly the vintage I prefer but I took a look anyway. Ended up bringing home a Grizzly 1 1/2 hp shaper along with about 20 cutters, all covered in rust, for the handsome sum of $75. Obviously it'll take some extensive de-rusting but I though it was worth the shot. The shaoer itself seems like it will operate just fine and the motor spins smoothly.
