I have one also, a restoration project. mine is a '42 model, 16" throat. The blade welder on mine is made by Powermatic/Houdaille, but looks very similar to yours. The variable speed pulley assembly is currently my main area of attention, I may make a UA-cam video on that if no one else has yet. Many trade schools had one of these, as well as military aircrcrraft mainetenance shops.
That'll be nice when you get her up and running...if you need to see a demo on blade welding, check out Makers Machining for a walk through on my DoAll - about the same vintage. Nice Job!
Nice Video

A long road ahead but I think it will be well worth it.
Nice job
