Does anyone have a picture of what an original crane looks like?

I've never seen an original crane quite like that one. I'd be interested in seeing how it attaches to the wooden base. Maybe a shot from beneath?

After 4 hours in the freezing garage tonight I have it all clean! I took everything apart and cleaned it. Someone worked on this in the past and did a horrible job haha. Most of the screws were mangled, some to the point I couldn’t get them out! :roll:

I need to get new rubber gromits for between the motor and the wood... where do I get those?
When I took apart the feedscrew mechanism I couldn’t figure out how to put the little y shaped piece back in. Does anyone know how to put it in?
And lastly, where do I get screws for this machine? I need one for the governor, and two for the bottom part of the feedscrew.

Thanks y’all!
