Subject: YATES AMERICAN combo saw/disc sander/jointer circa 1960
I recently bought used Yates American "J-Line" combo shop tool which was
manufactured in the 1950s 60s.  It was very popular in
woodworking/cabinetmaking schools.

Unfortunately, I have no manual and contacted manufacturer(s) who also have
no information available.  The model is 2082.  If anyone out there has one
of these or has manuals I would appreciate hearing from you.
Or ANY info. 

Or do you know of anyone or perhaps any trade school that still may be using
this.  It seems like a great tool.

Thanks in advance for help.

Are you sure you spoke to the right people at Yates?
I just related a story here a couple of months ago about Yates sending
me info on a planer that was first sold in 1942.  The people
there were incredible.  They made Delta look like Sears.

They sent me photocopies, which I assumed to mean that they keep
everything on file somewhere...
