Hello again Metman

I have run across something that makes me believe that your #7 photo shows a Grizzly Industrial, Inc. kit model H8101 that was most likely built by the individual whose collection you are trying to identify. Grizzly Industrial is a manufacturer / distributor of mostly Chinese built machine tools for both metal and woodworking. They are also a supply center for luthiers and other craftsmen. The machine tools that they sell have definitely improved over the years, and are now actually rather good, especially for the money, in these current times.

Hello Stoker-  Thank you again! We just found the manual for that model THIS WEEKEND, and you are correct!  It's a Grizzly H8101, as you described. 

We found a PM Research catalog (very nice. Lots of information and goodies in it) that he must have used for reference and purchases as well. 

Next is to figure out values on these, as the intention is to sell them either as a lot, or individually.  We'd like them to go to a good, appreciative home.  Would be great if there is an interested party here, especially if they're willing to do a local pick-up. 

I'm figuring next step is to put them up on the classified section. I'm open to PM's about value, possible purchase, etc. 

Thanks again to all for the help and replies!  Cheers!
