Making progress, thanks for the help. Ive added 4 photos of the shaper (seem to be in triplicate).Not sure how to get them into this .but theyre in an album titled Alba1 shaper?

Ok, Ive loosened the knurled locknut and the stroke is all the way forward. (at least now I understand HOW to adjust the stroke). Is it possible the leadscrew is disengaged from block/slider assembly? I need to move the block/slider assembly back towards the centre of the bull gear.

The bevel gear set driving the leadscrew is clearly visible at this time. All appears oily and shiny and in good condition.

Is this "Alba1" (which looks like a 2S) probably a very early 2S? I havent found any identifying markings other than the Alba1 cast into the hatch door.

Thanks for the photos and info, very helpful. I live in the Eastern Townships, outside Montreal, towards Sherbrooke.Don't have any info sources I know of.

How do I post phots on the site?

I am trying to adjust stroke on this 14"shaper: the adjusting screw/gear mechanism appears jammed: difficult to see what is in there!b

Note the shaper appears to be a 2S, although it is identified on the hatch casting as "Alba 1". I have no jnfo on age or history. Any info on stroke adjustment or identification of the machine would be appreciated.
