It’s worth it the tool will become valuable over time worth putting the money into. Electric planners are so nice for building many things surf boards included.

Thanks! I think seeing it with a fresh coat of paint will be satisfying.

I have the same planer the original belt just broke. The replacement belt was not cheap 35$ but worth it. It runs great and cuts smooth. Great find keep up the great work

Thanks! Do you know why this particular model is considered superior to others?

I would definitely sell it as is and split the money with the guy you bought it from. It has character as is and whoever ends up with it wouldn't be afraid to put it back to work.

Thanks! that's a legitimate point. Sometimes when I restore these I don't want to use them because they look too nice.

We are entering into a deep, philosophical exploration.😉 In my view, this is a tool that should be used. It should be maintained, repaired and put back to WORK. Leave 'restoration' for things that go into a museum. If you are going to paint it, do so to preserve its future utility not its 'value'. After several years of collecting older power tools produced in the USA and Canada, I have serious doubts about the existence of a widespread interest in vintage portable power tool collecting as a formalized or organized hobby or pastime. Where are the magazines or journals? Where are the conferences and meets? Heck, where are the KZread channels with a subscriber base to rival the numbers seen on vintage car channels. Canada is a country of 40 million citizens. Time after time I seem to be the only person in the country interested in buying a particular tool which it advertised nationally. I see the same phenomenon when I venture onto American Craigslist and see perfectly good tools at perfectly fair prices going unsold for months or years! Please do not use Ebay's fantasy land asking prices as an accurate indication of what old tools are worth. 😁

You raise a good point. Most old electrical tools have very little value which is why I was surprised to see these are actually in demand. Out of all of the tools which I've restored this is the first one to have any real value. With ebay I only look at what things have actually sold for.

@@floridarusticrepairs Thanks for taking the time to read my wordy comment. 😉Obviously, I value vintage tools made by our fellow citizens that were built to last. There is one noteworthy example that could show the way forward for portable tool collectors. Keith Rucker's Vintage Machinery KZread channel devoted to stationary power tools has a large and devoted following and Keith does a great job.

@@floridarusticrepairs Ditto for Canada. My house was built in 1978. I try to explain to people that every type of building material including plumbing and electrical was sourced domestically. The tools used by the tradesman to build it came from Canada (or the USA) and the appliances that were first installed were all built here. Today 95% of that is gone!!!!! After decades of toxic globalization we are finally seeing some interest in building up domestic capacity in our countries. It is now or never.

Great video and planer. I've been looking for one the same model for years for a decent price for my small woodshop. Indeed hard to find.

I guess it would depend on what your plans are, sell or use it for your project's, I personally never sell anything now because as soon as I do I'll need it a week later. That said, if you do sell it, cutting the guy in on the profit will make you feel better about it, and you will have a friend for life. Great video
