I searched for a long time for a Rockwell/SCMI F3a 12" jointer. It's built just like the bigger 16-24" jointer. SCMI built it for Rockwell in 1975 and 1976. I'm told it sold for $6-7K back then. I found one that was complete but in rough shape at auction in Las Vegas. I was able to win the auction for $750, but by the time I got it delived I had about $1100 in it. I completely disassembled it, cleaned and repainted, and added a Byrd cutterhead, new bearings, and a TECO VFD.
Here are a few before pictures, and several after pics.
