Craftsman Shaper King-Seeley Mfg. Model 103.23920

Inherited from My Father's Wood Shop, he purchased it back in the early 60's. Works Great, in "My Book" it's a Keeper! Out-performs my Freud Plunge Router/Table when Building Older Style Windows and Doors...
Tough, Sturdy, Good Ol' Quality Cast Iron Machine. Would like to Restore it someday to it's Original New Condition if I ever find the 2 Missing Parts I need. But may end up Having those Machined.
I have a Copy of the Original Owners Manual, If anyone else has a Machine like this one.

103.23920 Shaper
by: Anonymous

I just acquired a Model 103.23920 shaper. The spindle seems a little noisy. Could this be a bearing in need of lubrication? Can the motor be reversed? Looking down on the spindle, it spins clockwise. I would prefer it spend counter-clockwise. How could I obtain a copy of the manual? Many thanks.

Craftsman shaper
by: David Heider

I have model 103.23921 - from my Dad's shop. It looks the same as yours. He used it a lot to make cabinet doors back in the 50's and 60's as a contractor. I have cleaned and refurbished it and it runs well. The spindle is worn where the sheave is attached, and I'm wondering if a new one can be found.

I have one too!
by: Georgeek@cfl.rr.com

I am interested in getting a copy of your manual.
I was recently given one in real bad rusty shape,
I'm not sure the motor even runs. I need to know where or even if I can get new bits for it. If I can't I don't want to restore it. Any info anyone
can give me I will appreciate. I didn't even know what it was until I looked at this web site.
Thanks,
George

Copy of Manual
by: David

I have just acquired a model 103.23921. I don't know how different the two models are, but I am interested in restoring and using this shaper to its full potential also. I would like to get a copy of your manual if possible.

Thanks!
