C-Bag,
If it makes you feel any better, yours looks like it just came off the assembly line compared to the Atlas I purchased several years back. I don't have any pictures of it and would have destroyed any if they existed. After I cleaned off the coating of spilled roofing tar, fixed the burned wiring, replaced the seized motor and put it under power, then I found out how bad it really was. The bull gear was cracked, the ways on the ram looked like they were surfaced with an angle grinder, the amount of wear all over the machine seemed almost impossible and I called it quits. When it ran, it made noises that didn't make sense. But I got a great deal on a shaper for cheap..... LOL!
