Here are some shots of the Rhodes after it was
cleaned up and repainted.
I'd like to re-do this some day, partially
because a much better job could be done at it but mostly because I suspect these
shapers were originally painted black. Perhaps I'll get to that whenever
time can be found to work on the slotting attachment.

The jackshaft is driven by a chain belt and a 3-step cone pulley transmits power to the ram. |
