It is a 101.2290. I think this means it was made by Atlas for Sears.

The generic words of wisdom I have amount to two items.

I have an opportunity to pick up a Craftsman startionary horizontal

"Hi!"
Well, I'm not really new (joined May 2002), but I have only posted
once since then. So, I guess I'm still new.
I finally got around to getting a 4x6 from HF on sale for $150. No

Re: new 4X6
you can't go wrong. Motor seems to run a little hot.
Last fall I purchased the 4X6 from Grizzly. Since then I have looked
