The people over on " practical machinist" forum are great, if you haven't visited there.
I've had my 1918 south bend lathe for exactly 50 years, bought it from the original owner. who gave me a 30" Rockford shaper as a gift,
its about the same age.
I don't use the shaper much but when I need it, it is priceless.
