Welcome to the club! Thats a great find with all the CI parts. The riser block is a nice addition. I found one about 10 years older last summer at a yard sale. Between what I paid (next to nothing) and what I've got into it, I'm still under a $300 investment. Do you have other vintage tools like this? I've found them to be "dangerous" territory. You get one and fix it up and you start looking for others to fix up and before you know it your in too deep. I have a post about the rehab here: http://www.forums.woodnet.net/ubbthreads...&PHPSESSID=

This is my only machine with a cast iron base, but I have many other tools awaiting attention. I have several jointers, scroll saws, and drill presses hanging around here. There just aren't enough hours in the day.

you can get a taper pin at a hardware store.
I think it's a # 7.
it won't look quite the same, but it will work.
you can press on, then weld a Nut to the end of the taper pin too if you want.
Nice find by the way.
