Long out of business, beaten down x poor US sales and cheap imports.
12" Machine: Brute force American, not great but above average.
Transmission to head connection: nothing like a General but it works. If the castings are good and the tables flat, expect a reasonable machine that will not overheat.
25 years service on mine.
Planes then Routs.
Go to http://www.owwm.com. Old woodworking machinery. They have tons of info.
This guy has a lot of Parks parts also:
