...they don't make them anymore, I know (mostly TS fence systems now), but I have an old one from the late 80s I'd like to rebuild. The company lost most of its records in a fire, so they have no literature on them. If you know anything about these jointers, or know someone who has one, would you please contact me?
Thanks, H
What is it you're needing to know about it?

What I'd most like is a parts break-down. I got it missing a fence, which Vega will replace (they are supposed to be machining a new one right now), but there are a few screws and knobs missing here and there. I wouldn't mind seeing the factory instructions for adjusting it either. I doesn't look too hard to figure out (not so different than other jointers out there), but I always like the assurance of a factory manual.
It's a nice 8" model, BTW, long bed, 1.5 Baldor motor that purrs like a kitten. Got it for $90 at auction.
Later, H.

I would start with more inquiries like this on other forums like Knots, WoodNet, Wood Central and so on. Someone somewhere out there has to own this machine and still have a manual. I mean, Vega must have sold at least a couple of these, right?
There's nothing on the OWWM but this entry with info you already have.
In the end, I'm like you and I prefer to have the "actual" manual for my machines for the more subtle differences.
You did extremely (with emphasis on extremely) well for yourself. I'd say that you've won yourself a You Suck you damn turd heel! (1)
By the way, were these made here in the USofA/Decataur, IL?
