My BP has a slotting head attached. From the appearance, you're correct in saying that's what is shown in the picture. The clapper is quite large as compared to the spindle of a cherrying head.John Evans wrote: ↑Tue Jul 03, 2018 10:55 amThat looks to be a shaper/slotting head ,could also be a cherrying head . Can't see enough to be sure,my money is on the slotting head as they are more common.
I have a personal dislike for rusted machines. The work required to make them reliable is often beyond the value of the machine, even if it is free. I wouldn't go near any of those machines, but then I'm speaking from the position of the guy who doesn't need them. I might feel differently if I had pursued machines endlessly, without success.
