I recently picked up an AB Macdonald project. Here are some "as purchased" photos.

That’s one on my short list. I look forward to seeing the transformation.

Re: AB McDonald Project
I've always had a soft spot for the AB. Wonderful machine!
It's odd, but in my experience it seems that these turn up at two opposite extremes -- either in astonishingly immaculate condition, or very rough. I don't often see 'average' machines in the middle range.
That one obviously falls into the rough category but it has limitless potential. I'm very eager to see your progress!

Re: AB Macdonald Project
The transformation of the cabinet has been amazing. The results are a testimonial to GoJo. The end results were from lots of GoJo, a bunch of rags, a toothbrush, and gentle use of 0000 steel wool. I initially thought the oak base was a lost cause but I was wrong. I'm always careful around the decal where the GoJo made a brief application with a rag and then quickly off. I couldn't be happier with the results. Now, on to the mechanism.

The case turned out very nice. I'm sure the end result will be very nice.

Jerry,
Great transformation.
That's gonna be a really nice machine when you're done with it.
